She sent the pictures to the Wetlands Institute.
Last week, another man-of-war was spotted in Harvey Cedars.
Man-of-wars have highly venomous tentacles that can be as long as 165 feet.
For humans, their sting is painful and sometimes fatal.
Experts warn that even dead man-of-wars can deliver a sting.
