Hello! It's a request post today and we're featuring Things with Tentacles That Go Bloop, aka Jellyfish. Some of these may be cute, some of these may not be cute, but hopefully these pics are, if nothing else, interesting to look at! Also, lots of jellyfish look totally different to each other, so let's have a go at some of that variety. We're starting with one of the largest jellyfishes in the world, then one of the smallests (which rests amongst the most deadly), and from then on... well, who knows?

Speaking of jellyfish, though, did you know there's a place where there's a whole lake of golden jellyfish that wander from one side of the lake to the other on a daily basis? Swimming in it is apparently a popular tourist activity. You can check out a video of what it looks like underwater here. Pretty surreal, isn't it?

Also, I'm not linking to anything but Wikipdeia here but I'm sure you know how to search for things- if you like what you see and want more well written jellyfish nerdery with a side of cute and touching as well as affectionate lampshading of geeks, do check out Kuragehime! It's a lovely manga that was made into an anime, and one that I would consider well worth your time if you have an interest in such things.

Atolla Jellyfish

There are plenty more, but for today, this is it! I hope it was interesting.

Though of course we're not really done yet. Today's spider is a fairly common spider. It generally likes to build its fairly large webs next to open, sunny areas. This is a friendly spider that's also pretty much as close to harmless as you'll get. If you see a web with a zigzagging pattern running down the centre, though, you'll know it's likely to be one of theirs. Also, those little tiny balls of spiderlings that you might sometimes see? These are their parents.

Meet Argiope aurantia, or the common black and yellow garden spider.

There we go!

the local aquarium has this beautiful room with a tasteful victorian theme, tanks with jellyfish in it (and gradually color-changing LEDs) and some genuinely amazing string music. i could sit there for hours, and i don't even LIKE jellyfish.

Takes me back to aquarium field trips and doing reports on the Portuguese man 'o war (which is actually not a jellyfish). These picture are beautiful!

Auuugh irukandji. Heard so many horror stories about those! Box jellyfish, too. (Generic name. I'm talking about Chironex fleckeri.)

My father was once stung by a Portuguese man-of-war. He said it felt like being cut in half.

Man... jellyfish are pretty. Why are nearly all the ones around here horribly and hidiously painful, if not lethal? (Oh yeah. Australia.)

I got a jelly washed into my swimsuit and, uh, stuck in my cleavage, once when I was at the beach. I was freaking the hell out, and that poor thing was probably even more confused! I had to pull my swimsuit halfway off to get it back into the water; it was embarrassing.

/TMI stories

Also HECK yeah Argiope spiders. Argiope are considered the design basis for Touhou character Yamame Kurodani, a spider youkai (though she's actually supposed to be a tsuchi-gumo, a burrowing spider, rather than a web-spinner... ain't ZUN great?).

darth vader jellyfish! yes yes!

These are so beautiful! Jellyfish are one of my favorite animals.

I almost didn't come on F!S tonight but then I remembered your post and boy am I glad I did! Jellies!

And that last pic of those two spiders, what are they doing?

Having ~~sexy~~ funtimes duh ;)

For reals? I thought maybe so but didn't want to be accused of being a perv who just saw spider sexing because that's what I wanted to see.

No, I am not well-versed enough in spider mating rituals to make this call. Sorry for this sad attempt at making a joke. :(

~~It's not like the thought didn't cross my mind though.~~

Thank you for this tentacular fest! I'm sorry I didn't voice my appreciation sooner; readings about jellyfish species (and other things) can be very distracting.

They are fascinating creatures aren't they? So many different shapes and colors and specialties :3

SINCE WE'RE DISCUSSING TINY SPIDER BABIES IMA DO SOME ADVERTS

for Daniel Abraham

and the Dagger and the Coin

because there are these people and spiders are in their blood because of a goddess.

READ THIS SHIT. IT'S GOOD.

You can call them squishies, but I'd call them jellyfish. And remember the tiny spider babies?
