jellyfish

In researching these little blue jellyfish, I have found that they are washing up in great numbers on shores around the world. From what I can find, the first picture shows a line of velella velella, a type of cnidaria jellyfish, that litter the shore.


The next two shots are Portuguese man-o-war's. Scary looking things. In the first shot, that's a size 14 boot next to it for comparison.


Please feel free to correct me on the names.
