Astrologically, I am a Scorpio, but these things scare me to death! Maybe it's the stinger, I don't know, but I hope I never see one. I think your photo is enough to satisfy my interest in seeing one for the rest of my life. A great shot, Sayed. He really looks 'big'!
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I have a friend living in Tampa - she used to have to be sure she shook her shoes out before putting them on... They were much smaller than this guy I think! Scary!! ~Mary~
I applaud your bravery, and I wouldn't have done this, although we had a bear in our back yard and the first thing I was doing was running for my camera, so maybe I've been bitten deeper than I thought by the camera bug :)
