I was today years old when I learned they aren't jellyfish... Well, guess I am one of the lucky 10k
To anyone else that only now learned that: they are actually quite interesting, and colonial organisms of a group called Siphonophorae.

I’m 99% sure that’s a picture of a blue bottle, not sure what a man o war is.
Edit: Well today I learned that what we call “bluebottles” in Aotearoa and Australia is called “Man of War” in the US.
36 0 ReplyWhat a hilarious name to give it. Granted 'Man-o-war' is also very funny for a thing that mostly just floats around and stings you if you swim into it.

Bluebottles are a kind of housefly in the US or UK aren't they?

They hurt like a bitch too. Swam across one while snorkeling in Florida a few months ago. Had a couple tentacles wrapped around my arm. Not fun. And flared up again 2 weeks later. Also not fun.
