Saddleback caterpillar sting has been very rarely reported in European countries. We report a French case of a stung toddler. ⋯ Saddleback caterpillars can be imported to France and carried across the Atlantic Ocean on house or garden plants especially Areca trees. French garden store owners should be informed about this risk and should check and treat host plants (especially Areca trees) at the arrival time.
