Asian Forest Scorpion. Unsure of the exact species. Sex? Was told it could be female but looks like male to me. Rather large. No exact measurement yet but maybe 5 inches. It looks adult or really close to it.
This one may be a female. The little feathery pectines don't quite cover the first pair of spiracles. Also males have a bigger 'tooth' on their pedipalps.
 
Mr. Krabs is a boy (most likely). When I look at the m/f references for sexing, it looks male to me. The males appear to have a indent (looks like a rivet) where the wings meet the body and Mr. Krabs here definitely has that. When I can get him in a clear container again I'll get a better picture of the bulb above his wings. That'll clinch it.
