well, unfortunately the answer to your question whether it is dying or molting can only be answered for sure by whether it dies or molts. With scorpions the symptoms can be very similar for either behavior. Typically tho I have found there to be more sluggishness and apathy going along with impending doom. A good healthy instar scorp most likely will act fine and molt in a relatively short amount of time with not much warning. Just keep the air in the tank fresh and humid and leave the little guy alone for as long as it takes to get your answer. Keep it dark as well. Good luck!
