I guess this one was a hard one to caption, but I do like some of your attempts.<br /><br />@Dennis - yes, unfortunately real plastic bags are sometimes swallowed by marine creatures, possibly because they are mistaken for something like this comb jelly. Unfortunately, animals that ingest plastic bags usually die as a result. The plastic bag blocks their digestive system.<br /><br />@Marie - Welcome to <i>The Right Blue</i>. We hope you come back.<br /><br />@Kathy - Thanks. I did crop a bit of 'extra' blue off the sides, but otherwise the image on the original transparency was as you see it. I thought I had more of Jerry's face in the frame -- guess I should have shot from a little farther away.<br /><br />To those who asked if these jellies can sting: comb jellies belong to a different phylum than the jellies most frequently associated with stinging. Note that the one in the photo has no trailing tentacles.<br /><br />BobbieBNShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-25922943673938947912009-06-12T10:30:49.363-10:002009-06-12T10:30:49.363-10:00"The Comb Jelly's mystery world" or ..."The Comb Jelly's mystery world" or "The friendship between a Comb Jelly and a man".<br />The photo is fantastic.antigonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17788936258263664434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-89009211150491243212009-06-12T05:51:09.093-10:002009-06-12T05:51:09.093-10:00New Ocean Species discovered - Clear Pepper Giant
