Caterpillars Were The Cause Of 'Post-Urbanscapes Rashes', Says MAEPS
"After detail investigation, we discover the cause of the itchiness is due to caterpillars that love eating grass and breed seasonally in the ground," said MAEPS in a statement to Urbanscapes-goers.

Describing the area as "agricultural" and quite ‘jungle-like’, the MAEPS spokesperson said there was no way to get rid of the insects while the event was ongoing. He added that using repellent before attending Urbanscapes could have reduced the sting.
thestar.com.myAccording to a source from MAEPS, the venue owners had allegedly informed Urbanscapes organizers of the emergence of caterpillars and other insects a few days before the event.
lipstiq.comFrom what we gather from the venue, the caterpillars are not dangerous but can cause discomfort. Many of the organisers are also suffering from the itch,” Adrian Yap from Urbanscapes said.
