Description
These Sea Jellies remind me of Japanese Lanterns glowing in the night. Scientists say these ancient creatures have been around for over 500 million years. A group of jellyfish is sometimes called a bloom or a swarm. Some of these groups are very large and contain as many as 100,000 Jellies. Jellyfish have no hearts but do have poisonous stingers and kill up to 40,000 people each year. They could also be an alien life form that came from a spaceship that crashed in the ocean 500 million years ago. I'm going with that.

oh WOW!!!!! Tom ... this is GLORIOUS!!!!! Awesome, awesome!!!!! I am in awe of your detail of the graceful but painful stingers, and the tiny, beautiful bubbles and fish ... marvelous work with the light deepening to dark blues ... but of course it's those deadly glowing heads that catch the eye!!!!! I remember we had a red one wash through our quiet little river once ... scared to youknowwhat outta me!!!!!! This is an amazing work of art ... I hate HATE jelly fish, the bane of my childhood in rivers off the Chesapeake, but you've made them soooooooo beautiful!!!!!! Applause, applause!!!!!
