Bright blue stinging jellyfish will "definitely" come to North Devon

BRIGHT blue stinging jellyfish have been spotted in their hundreds and will “definitely” come to North Devon, according to an expert. 

The blue jellyfish, or cyanae lamarckii, have long tentacles, a bright blue bell and purple lines running down their insides. 

They can deliver a sting similar to a nettle and can trigger anaphylactic shock in people who happen to be allergic. 

They have been spotted in Newquay, Cornwall and Lawrence Raybone of Ilfracombe Aquarium said their arrival on the shores of North Devon is imminent.
