Hi MLA
Thanks for posting this. Such a pity that an unusual/beautiful creature like this has the potential to cause so much pain. Might be worth posting on the Gen Chat area as well to encourage as many as possible to read about the treatment that is recommended if they are unfortunate enough to get stung by one.
