I love them! These smack remind me of smack that are found in the Monterey Bay Aquarium. You make it look so real and life-like.

Thank you Corey! I was inspired by the jellyfish at Monterey Bay Aquarium too!

I can safely say that I first heard smack as the collective term for jellyfish a few short moments ago from yourself. 😆

What a beautiful watercolor! I love the colors!

I can’t find my copy of the book by James Lipton (of Inside the Actor’s Studio) with all the names of groupings. The one I created is a Flatulence of Assh*les.

I like the jellyfish. And I call all groups of beasts “a bunch.” All those fancy options (flamboyance of flamingos; murder of cries) seem possibly of suspect historical value.

Thank you! The names are entertaining nonetheless. 😊

Indeed. I saw crows also gather in “congresses. “ But I like crows.

Such strange words for groupings, eh? Thanks for posting, Tanya.
