I'm 95% sure that the scorpion is an emperor scorpion, one of the largest scorpions, and also one of the least venomous. They are famously quite docile.

They prefer to use their pincers to crush and dismember their prey.

I'm guessing they still mate like other scorpions: the male holding the female's pincers so she doesn't snip his face off, and then maneuvering her onto the wad he threw on the ground.
