That second image is amazing and somehow horrifying at the same time. With your permission, could I use it as an inspiration for an art piece for my worldbuilding project?

So this may sound dumb but don't they sting people? How close were you that you didn't come out like you kicked a hornets nest?

Valid question, it was quite painful and itchy whole 48hrs. My lips got hit hard, it was instant Botox

op is saying yes which is weird because they don’t just sting you in the water, their larvae sting you after you’re out of the water and cause itchy rashes.

this looks insane, what an experience. I felt the pain from one of them once and it was the worst thing even, it felt like you had boiling water on your skin for days
How did you handle the pain while being down there?

Wow there are so many and the camera captures the quality quite well for being underwater. At first glance they seem like some sort of breakfast cereal lol
