2014 Things That Sting – Stingray Medallion Cover PNC Australia has numerous insects and animals that sting or bite as a form of defense. Some are extremely dangerous and can be fatal for humans, while other, despite their painful stings, rarely inflict serious damage. The Bluespotted Fantail Ray (Taeniura lymna) is found around coral reefs in shallow tropical waters in Australia and is characterised by its colouration of electric blue spots on yellow and the two blue stripes on its tail. This attractive stingray is comparatively small, growing to around 35 centimetres in width.

We should respect our varied wildlife, learn to identify those creatures that are potentially dangerous, and take sensible precautions to avoid being stung or bitten. This medallion features insects, reptiles and fish that can pack a painful punch if disturbed or threatened. This commemorative medallion cover features a Stingray medallion along with a 70c Australia Post Stamp.
