Hi There Arturo,
This is the first letter we are answering since returning to the office. This is a Vinegaroon, a non-poisonous relative of the scorpions. It is harmless unless you are a small arthropod. Vinegaroons are Whipscorpions in the family Thelyphonidae, and we believe this specimen is in the genus Mastigoproctus.
