Invariably one sees them half dead on the hot sand. Flat, motionless. But this is not how they actually are in life. I was intrigued to see that, freshly washed up, these animals are still able to actively move their bladder tip. But out of their environment they quickly succumb and the air sac droops into that familiar dead form. Date: 28 November 2017, 05:45. Source: Physalia utriculus - bluebottle. Author: Dirk Pons.

Description: Cnidocytes Desiccation doesn't staunch it; the creature can be dead, yet the blue sting lingers, primed for inflicting pain. It's as though, by some osmosis, those strings of cells had leached the ocean's pigments, transmuted surf and sky into poison: a perfect concentrate, pure as lapis. Coelenterates have evolved, out of jelly, an exquisite armoury against higher animals: penetrant, glutinant, volvent, all deployed blindly - touch-triggered murders, without a trace of malice. They cooperate: buoyant on pucker-sealed pneumatocysts, spine-primed cnidocytes are eager to glut sucker-mouthed gastrozooids with stunned and twitching flesh. Poem by Giles Watson, 2013. The picture shows tentacles of a stranded specimen of Physalia utriculus, the Portugese Man o' War, colloquially known as the Bluebottle. Date: 20 November 2013, 08:40. Source: Cnidocytes.
