Among the swarms of giant jellyfish that still frequent the shores of Israel, especially the northern shores, there are rare or rather "not found" guests hidden among them: colony salves, which may still arrive later. In the meantime, from last Saturday 23.3.24 some guests from the same large family are coming.
Known as "Blue Button"
The foreign name of the stingray colony is Porpita and it lives in warm waters in the Indian Pacific Ocean, and also in the Mediterranean Sea. Also, it sometimes appears in winter storms. This type of jellyfish is a beautiful and harmless creature, in contrast to the stingray, whose stings are notorious.
Phalagic glow
Another jellyfish that by appearance alone looks like a glowing Phalagia. Jellyfish are quite rare in our area.
In the western Mediterranean it appears in swarms and their burning is unpleasant. But spring is still young and not full of surprises.
The colored jellyfish according to what I heard is not only stinging but also poisonous
Hi Dana.
You're right, but in my opinion it's less poisonous than the blue thread.
Shabbat Shalom.
Very fascinating article! The photos are taken in such good quality that I couldn't stop staring!
The jellyfish are amazing sea creatures, I was very interested in the wandering phalgia and also the magnified photo of the porphyta is most spectacular!
In addition, it is very nice to see what sizes the string can reach as a wanderer according to the scale seen in the picture! Most fascinating! There is nothing wrong with you and your articles! Inhale!
interesting! The glowing phalgia looks like a palm…
Probably also 'evacuees'. And in light of their sensitivity, they feel what is happening in our region. …..and they also have some families.
Hello Amir.
The wandering filamentous jellyfish that appeared this winter are very large, probably with more venom cells and the amount of venom injected is large, so it hurts much more.
There are snakes with a less painful injury, and it also depends on the length of the arms, the size and the amount of venom.
and also practice, but the pain is a relative matter,
And everyone reacts differently.
Cube jellyfish is very small and causes terrible suffering and even death.
Fascinating article like all your articles, accompanied by beautiful pictures
As a result of a number of direct hits with a wandering filamentous jellyfish, the large ones during the winter became burns but relatively mild compared to the past. Is it possible that they are less virulent? Or luck or less personal sensitivity?
Well done my friend Motty Mendelssohn. Good Morning
The article is great. Fascinating as usual, and the photos are amazing! A comment not related to Moti's articles, the beaches are full of waste and the beach cleaning department is probably not enough to cope. A lot of plastic and styrofoam waste that does not decompose and enters the sea, maybe the schools can be harnessed for a "waste collection day" every day a different class... Zhava
to check the connection between gas pumping and different jellyfish inventions
A very interesting and surprising period……
