Are those what we think they are?! These photos have us SHOOK!
We cannot believe it!

Oh my gosh! These photos are nuts! A local photographer has captured insane shots of a BLUE jellyfish known as Velella velella.

The species is commonly known as By-the-Wind Sailor and has a peculiar shape featuring a blue base with tentacles and a transparent triangular head.

We’ve come across other jellies that have washed up on Maltese shores over the years, particularly in summer, but these are just something else!

Have you seen anything like them?
