these appear to be males, as the females are less hairy and larger. To be exact you need a photograph of the antennae or abdominal segments.
"
The sexes of Scolliidae are separated as follows:

females, antennae 12-segmented, abdomen 6-segmented
males, antennae 13-segmented, abdomen 7-segmented. In addition, males have the antennae noticeably longer than females and possess a retractable, 3-pronged plate at the tip of the abdomen."
