In Cyprus, snake envenomation is a constant risk to livestock. b Habitat of M. l. lebetina at the edge of an orange plantation and riparian vegetation, offering favorable conditions for rats and their ophidian predators (8 September 2015). c A local man harvesting capers (Capparis spinosa) (9 April 2014). As M. l. lebetina commonly ambushes prey underneath shrubs, including capers, agricultural workers in Cyprus face an increased risk of snake envenomation. d Macrovipera l. lebetina camouflaged at the edge of farmland and riparian vegetation (9 May 2014).
