Freshwater jellyfish?

Yup another invader from china. But I don't believe these little guys will damage as much as the carp and emerald ash beetles will.

They are natural in our streams and lakes, found in Ohio and Tennessee rivers as well as certain rivers in China and Thailand, but they are here natively.

I used to see them in alot of lakes when I lived in California . Here is a link that shows sightings.

Oops must of not read enough of that article about em. It just said they originated from china. But I'll take your guys word on it. I just found out that we had jellyfish. But having them as a native species is even cooler. Now I just have to find a couple of these little guys.

Most of the sightings I have had and have heard mostly occur in the fall/winter. Oct-Dec. in clear water.
