Hello Vinny
I think your brown scorpion with the darkened terminal segment is
Lychas marmoreus.
Wood scorpion is mostly darker, shiny and with chubbier chelicerae
Here is a list of four of the local species

Thanks Mark, do you know of any similar looking scorpions I might see in that area?
Hi jdvincent86 and welcome to ProjectNoah. You've found quite a gathering there. Some bess beetles (Carabidae), and the scorpion might be a wood scorpion (Cercophonius squama) but that's just a guess without a close view. Hope you enjoy the website - it's a great place to learn some biology.
