Jellyfish Lamps

A company in the United States has found a use for dead jellyfish by turning them into glow-in-the-dark lamp paperweights.

The Amazing Jellyfish encases the bodies of jellyfish that have died of natural causes to preserve their glowing properties.

The company says they are made of crystalline epoxy so they will never break or shatter.

Jellyfish absorb light naturally and glow when darkened because of natural proteins in their bodies.

They contain bioluminescence, a defence mechanism that causes them to glow in the dark to frighten predators, according to the company.
