Translucent jellyfish found with prey inside in England

Photographer Nikki Banfield made an unusual discovery of a rare transparent jellyfish with recently eaten prey seen within its stomach on a beach in the UK. The jellyfish, known as the 'Mauve Stinger,' is rarely seen near UK shores and would more likely be found in warmer European waters. Banfield had previously taken photographs showing hundreds of thousands of Mauve Stingers washed up on the same beach. The Wildlife Trust described the Mauve Stinger as a small jellyfish with long tentacles and warty structures on its 'bell' full of stinging cells.
