Invertebrates From Every Corner
Invertebrates make up an extraordinary part of the wildlife found across the UAE and Lebanon, occupying habitats ranging from deserts and mountains to forests, wetlands and coastal environments. This collection documents species encountered and photographed in the wild, including scorpions, spiders, beetles, mantises and other invertebrates. Often small and easily overlooked, these animals play essential roles in their ecosystems as predators, pollinators, decomposers and prey for other wildlife. Through field photography, we aim to document their diversity and reveal a fascinating part of the natural world that often goes unnoticed.
