Thimble Jellies - When do they spawn?

[dflipp]

I'm planning a trip to Key Largo during the last week of March and I was wondering if "Sea Lice" would be a problem. What time of the year do they usually appear?

Thanks,
Dan

Well shoot, looks like it can last from March through most of the summer.

Thanks for the link.

Got to enjoy the little darlings last year in Roatan. Was there first of May and there had been a major spawn just the week before I arrived. Several of us had minor problems and one of the local DMs got a pretty bad case. Fortunately the currents swept most of them out of the area while I was there and I personally only had to contend with the normal bitin' bugs. :007:
