The Sea Slugs can be very beautiful and some very venomous.

Some are more poisons than a Cobra.

I looked them up and found this interesting tidbit: Nudibranchs derive their coloring from the food they eat, which helps in camouflage, and some even retain the foul-tasting poisons of their prey and secrete them as a defense against predators.

One type feeds on the "Man O War" jellyfish. Thought about painting this one in class, but too complicated for Yupo paper.

Only used Yupo paper twice so far and not the easiest to work with, but fun. Thanks to Jan for telling and showing us how to use it.
