The bluebottle is a floating sea creature that looks like a jellyfish, but it is actually a colony of many linked animals that work together. It drifts on the surface of warm oceans and often washes up on beaches in large numbers. Its long tentacle can cause painful stings, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

Tge fa ses tissi?

Its tentacle is covered in venomous cells called cnidocytes, which fire stinging threads called nematocysts. These toxic stinging cells cause painful injuries when they touch human skin. The stings can cause painful injuries at the beach.1

On Australia's east coast, 10,000 to 30,000 stings per year from animals of the genus Physalia are reported, and most incidents happen on the eastern coast. No deaths have been recorded from stings by this species. The Atlantic Portuguese man o' war has caused at least three deaths.1

Sch'el piztga

Va or da l'aua e prenda davent las tentaclas (cun manetschas u cun in tschop).
Tar medusas cubicas tropicalas: versa aschieu sin las piztgadas durant almain 30 secundas, clama agid e sajas pront da far ina reanimaziun. Tar galeras portugaisas e las bleras autras: lava cun aua da mar, lura cun aua chauda cunter las dolurs.

It is not a single animal. It is a colony of four separate types of polyps and medusoids that work together.1

Its stinging cells can remain harmful on beaches for weeks or months if the sand stays moist.1

It moves across the sea using the wind, currents and tides, helped by the sail on top of its float.1
