Scorpion

I was so scared when I've seen it ..... but in the end I've captured him with my camera. In Italy there is only one type of toxic scorpion but this isn't. It was little, maybe a baby scorpion

That's a great capture...It would be hard to capture something that scared you a little.

Yeah it's true.

The bigger the claws usually means non harmful
Smaller the claws the more dangerous

Nice shot, very nice DOF

I know it, you're right but I'm scared the same

Desertraptor is correct. The smaller the claws, the more potent the venom. Check out the Bark scorpion that inhabits Arizona, USA as an example.
That said, you would not want to be stung by this little critter either!!
Very nice shot by the way.

Or you can take a look at some I shot in Arizona this year (safely exhibited behind glass I might add
