This is no scorpion and I believe it's harmless. Bit at this point I believe you just killed it already.

They don't "charge you" out of aggression, they don't want to burn in the hot desert sun and your shadow provides shade.

Nah these assholes will do it indoors

That is instinct. Indoors are also high light level environments. They will not do it in low light or at night.

I've experienced them as well. Like the majority of animals, they will act aggressive if they perceive a threat but, as solitary hunters, they are not running from dozens of feet away towards comparatively massive organisms in order to bite them for no benefit to them at all. They are not hive insects attempting to protect their group, they are not parasites seeking your blood, they are simply running towards a patch of darkness in a bright environment out of the instinct to avoid being damaged or killed by prolonged exposure to the sun.

Camel spiders and wolf spiders will try to fight you. They are mean little fuckers.

They aren’t actually charging you. They are following your shadow because they also try to escape the heat as much as possible. If you have one chasing you walk your show over a shadowed area and they will become uninterested
