Florida Keys Velella Velella

Description and Comments

Big Pine Key on the ocean side, we didn't know what the Velella were until we came home and looked them up. Quite a few more Velella than PMOW. Have seen PMOW before on this private beach, but never the Velella before. Most were dead on the beach, but we saw a few "sailing" in to shore while we were in the water, swimming.
