Two marbled scorpions with locked pincers. The smaller of the two was actively dragging the larger one. Territory? Mating behaviour?

The pincers on the marbled scorpion are very thin and it has a yellow-brown body mottled with light brown patches while the body of the wood scorpion iis creamy yellow to orange with darker brown and light brown patterning. You have photographed a mating dance led by the smaller male who has deposited a package of sperm on the ground. The male is trying to position the female over the top of the package.
