夜光游水母 (紫水母)

Mauve Stinger

Pelagia noctiluca

簡介

地中海潛水員最怕遇到的「紫色小惡魔」，美麗卻帶有強烈刺痛感。

The Mediterranean diver's "little purple demon"—beautifully colored but packing a very painful sting.

學名 noctiluca 意思是「夜間發光」。當牠們在晚上受到海水擾動時，整隻水母會發出幽暗的藍綠色生物螢光。

Its scientific name means "night light." When disturbed at night, the entire jellyfish glows with a bioluminescent blue-green light.

尚無潛點紀錄。
