Also would be nice to note. Be careful of fire ants, centipedes, spiders specifically the camel spider (their venom doesn’t do anything to us but will leave a nasty infection) 

I found a website which actually has which explains the wilderness of the UAE (plants, animals and insects. The mentioned instructs can be found there and explained in more detail)

@Gregory I think your son would enjoy reading on this website.

@Chaitanya D a saw scaled viper spotted this morning in Al Qudra by someone who goes there a lot.  This person often shares images of the fauna he comes across with, snakes are not frequent in his posts which makes this an interesting one:

... on a side note it looks like the killer ants don't mind getting close to these vipers 😆

Goes to tell you all to be extremely watchful when around the bushes in desert. Thanks @Mario Cornejo for sharing

Wearing fully covered shoes  (protective) and full pants helps .

Flip flops and sandals are a clear no

We went out in Qudra the other night for dinner, had a cook up, and I was shocked at the amount of critters I saw. Spiders , scorpions I know we are in their home but I just didn’t think about it or seeing them in those numbers. This was at sunset by 11pm the movement seemed to die down a bit. Boots not trainers next time! Trousers not shorts ! More lights so I can see where I’m stepping! 😂
