I’m 99% sure that’s a picture of a blue bottle, not sure what a man o war is.

Edit: Well today I learned that what we call “bluebottles” in Aotearoa and Australia is called “Man of War” in the US.

What a hilarious name to give it. Granted 'Man-o-war' is also very funny for a thing that mostly just floats around and stings you if you swim into it.

Named after a ship class that would make you scared if you saw it on the horizon

Bluebottles are a kind of housefly in the US or UK aren't they?
