Creatures closely related to the Portuguese man o' war have been discovered washed up on beaches along Northern Ireland's north coast.

These vibrant blue marine organisms, known as Velella velella or By-the-Wind Sailors, captivate onlookers with their sail-like structures that propel them across the ocean's surface.

Native to the Azores in the mid-Atlantic, these fascinating creatures which resemble jellyfish, are actually colonies of tiny individual organisms working together in harmony.

Most will likely be washed back out to sea with the next high tide or decompose naturally on the shore.

So are they saying that this is the first time since the 1980s that there's been a dry spell of weather on Christmas Island? BS...and what does the dry weather have to do with the instinctive behavior connected to their breeding cycles where they migrate release their eggs into the ocean. They were literally three months late in migrating and it's still dry there so that obviously hasn't stopped them.

The migration has now begun but it is the first time it has happened as late as February since since Parks Australia started tracking the crabs' movements in the 1980s.

Authorities say "exceptionally dry" conditions have put a dampener on this season's migration, which normally sees the mass of red crabs blocking traffic.

(I was debating about whether to put it here or in the Toxic World category, because it pertains to wildlife I decided on putting it here but it's no mystery why these bird populations are collapsing)
