Portuguese man of war

I haven't been stung by one recently, but recall it as pretty painful. I memory of that sting, I increased the saturation to make it look nastier.

Beautiful photos and interesting biology here: http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/invertebrates/portuguese-man-of-war/.

It looks better with your processing I think. yes the sting is very hurtful. I avoid them when ever I can, keeping my eyes where I step.

Excellent image and information, Diane. Unbelievable how long those tentacles are

I've never been stung by one of those and I don't think I'd want to be either! They look pretty serious even when they're stuck on the beach!
