Since there are nearly a half million species, your description is not enough...If you go to a lawn and garden center, Ortho Chemicals has a manual there with photos or drawings of many pests, but it seems that it is not likely to be there...it doesn't cause crop or flower damage, so if there is a University near you, go to the Entomology department. Also when you ask a question like this, you need to tell us where you are...if you are in Africa, then they have different types there than in Florida.

Sounds like a scorpion in Arisona. Try google under bugs in Arizona area. Lighter scoroions can be more deadly!!
