The Queensland Ambulance Service describes Irukandji jellyfish as a small, extremely venomous species of box jellyfish, approximately two centimetres in diameter.

Their size can make them hard for swimmers to spot in the water.

They are most often found in tropical waters in Australia from November to May, and their stings can cause severe pain, vomiting, and breathing difficulties.
