I didi dives on the old bridge last week and found fresh water jellies on two separate days.

Craspedicusta sowerbyi are marvelous creatures about the size of a quarter. They pulsate lazily as they feed on tiny bacteria and single cell stuff. Members of the phylum Cnidaria class Hydrozoa they have stinging cells but their tiny nematocysts are not long enough to puncture human skin.

They were way out around some old Christmas trees. A few years ago I remember a jellylike growth on pier and bridge pilings in the Kowaliga area. Haven seen this recently.
