RANDOM EXQUISITE BEAUTY - THE BOX JELLIES

Box jellyfish, named for their vaguely cube-shaped medusae, are a class of invertebrates belonging to the phylum cnidaria ("box jellyfish" is a common name for the notoriously dangerous Chironex fleckeri). Box jellyfish are known for the extremely potent venom produced by some species. Along with Chironex fleckeri, Carukia barnesi and Malo kingi are among the most venomous creatures in the world. Stings from these species are often fatal to prey animals, and extremely painful, but only occasionally fatal to humans

Irukandji jellyfish (pronounced /ˈɪrəˌkændʒi/, EER-ə-KAND-jee) are tiny and extremely venomous jellyfish that are found all over the world,[1] and which cause symptoms collectively known as Irukandji syndrome. Its size is roughly no larger than a centimetre cubed. So far, there are two known species of Irukandji: Carukia barnesi and the recently discovered Malo kingi.
The symptoms of Irukandji syndrome were first documented by Hugo Flecker[2] in 1952 and named after the Irukandji people whose country stretches along the coastal strip north of Cairns, Queensland.[3] The first-known of these jellyfish, Carukia barnesi, was identified in 1964 by Dr. Jack Barnes; in order to prove it was the cause of Irukandji syndrome, he captured the tiny jelly and stung himself, his son, and a life guard.[4]
