Desert scorpion - Paravaejovis waeringi Indian Gorge, Anza Borrego Desert, San Diego County, California, USA June 22, 2003 Size: about 40 mm
This type of scorpion seems pretty common in this area of the desert (desert scrub with Smoke Trees). They blend in well with the sand (better than this photo indicates).
