Heterometrus spinifer
It is a large scorpion approximately 10-12 cm with a shiny black body with gray-green reflections. It has large highly developed pincers.
They live in Southeast Asia in moist forests in dark undergrowth under logs or other debris.
After spotting this scorpion right outside my front door I decided to test how well scorpions shine under UV light. The second picture shows just how well these scorpions glow under UV light.
