Scorpion look alike but it hasn't stinger like any scorpion . it also has a pair of leg that use for detecting any object or living thing ahead. And this vinegaroon has different color to another vinegaroon that usually has total black/darkgrey form. But this one has red legs, and yellow marking on it's abdorment.
Mostly underground with high humidity, especially near tree's root. In urban area they can be found , in irrigation pipes or in junk area.
i've took this photo at night spotting,

Rosa : thank you. And indeed it is a bit scary looking. And it can spread aweful smell around when it is disturbed.
That is a bit scary looking, but great spotting!
Maybe Uropygid sp..
