Deathstalker

My first visit to the desert came with a warning. Greetings Everyday Spy, My first visit to the desert came with a warning. I was prepping a dirt bike that had been suped up for sand dunes and high temperatures. Even though I was in the Arabian Gulf, I was surrounded by white guys... Aussies, Americans, Brits, and a genuine Irish gentleman. "When you approach a dune with a burrow or a bush on it, drive by and rev your engine high..." Not every sand dune is the same. Some are walkers - meaning they move from place to place with winds and weather. Others stay put. They might grow and shrink over time, but they don't move. These are the only dunes that allow animals to build nests and plant life to take root on them. "Expect to see little nasties scurry about when they hear you throttle the engine." "If they are black or slither, you're good to mount the dune..." "But if they are yellow with a patch of black on their back, that's not your dune." That dune belongs to the deathstalkers... ...one of the world's deadliest scorpions and the most dangerous creature in the Arabian desert. Bedouins from Oman to Kuwait have feared these little yellow scorpions throughout history. And if you are going to enter their domain, you need to play by their rules. I've been through many deserts - some with yellow sand, some with red sand. And I've seen some ugly things crawling around at night and during the day. But by God's good grace, I've never seen one of these yellow-tailed devils. At least, not yet. But we still have more adventures ahead of us, don't we?
