A miniature print of the tiny, fearsome sea slug Glaucus atlanticus, or the Blue angel nudibranch or Blue dragon.
The Glaucus atlanticus itself is no longer than 1.2" or 3 cm, but it floats upside down on the surface of pelagic waters hunting venomous siphonophores like the Portuguese man o' war & then uses their stinging nematocysts for its own protection. These wee beauties are some hardcore little sea slugs.

I think this is the last of the critters I have to share, I'll probably doodle more some day down the road but for now that's it for the archive.
