Glaucus Atlanticus

PBS

This beautiful blue sea slug is among the most poisonous due to the nematocysts they swallow from other sea-dwellers which cause a stinging sensation when touched. The painfulness of the sting can be compared to that of the Portuguese Man O’ War with symptoms including red welts lasting for three days, the inability to breathe, and intense fever or shock.
