Interesting photo . in the UK a blue bottle is a large fly . would be interesting to know about your creatures of you have the time

@ilovelenses here our bluebottles are a "man o war" stinging sort of (not really) jelly fish. Very nasty sting while you are swimming! They are actually a colony of organisms.

@pusspup oh I did wonder of they were related to man o war jellyfish from your title . I do find your fauna so interesting, there are far too few documentaries that focus on your native species . thank you for the info and I'll look forward to setting more of your photos

Great colours and textures. We seem to have more blue bottles on our beaches earlier in the year :)

Have painful memories of these little critters. Steer clear. Very colourful image.

Our daughter has painful memories of the blue bottles - on a holiday to SA, many years ago. We had no idea what they were ... we do now! Cool capture of them.

Never heard of Christmas beetles. This is a lovely reflection on man's thoughtlessness.
