Oak processionary caterpillars, known as 'hell's larvae' due to their venomous nature, have been confirmed in Skåne, southern Sweden. The species was last seen in Sweden 12 years ago and can cause serious allergic reactions. Experts from Lund University confirm the sighting but see little chance of stopping its establishment in Sweden. Danish authorities recently urged residents to report sightings of this insect.
