So pretty! And so poisonous!

Have you ever seen the Glaucus Atlanticus Sea Slug before? It's popping up on at least two of my Tumblrs, Google+ and Pinterest accounts so I guess it's kind of a dernier crie. No wonder! It is such an intriguing life form!

It is pretty, and shiny

Used to see those washed up on the beach sometimes. SO BEAUTIFUL! I was completely enraptured by them as a child.

Yes, they look like little pieces of jewellery, don't they?

Wow, it's dangerous and stunning looking!

...and now I can't help but wonder who has this as their Animagus.

Yes! I thought the same thing!!! And that great feature-it can re-use its victim's venom!!! The ultimate survivor :D

It looks like a gem, doesn't it?
