Pvgreg said: Many varieties of jellyfish, but not all, swarm beginning the 8th day after a full moon for 3-4 days. In Hawaii this is very consistent and they have a published calendar for when to avoid the water. They typically are pushed by current to the lee shore of an island. However a species of Box jellyfish actually have eyes and swim towards lights on shore. Now that is funny....swim towards lights on shore? So if these are primitive creatures that have been around for millions of years, what lights on shore did they swim for back then? Or if the power goes out they get lost? :):):)
It's not what you've got, it's what you give, it's not the life you choose, it's the life you live.
