The life cycle of the Physalia physalis is roughly one year, ending shortly after they sexually reproduce by releasing gametes into the water column after the adults gather into a swarm. Two drifting gametes fuse into a zygote, which eventually develops into an adult man of war, several months later.
How these jellies are able to gather into a swarm is unknown to science at the moment, since their movement is normally only governed by both prevailing and random currents and wind. The next generation of marine biologists may just provide the answer to that quandary, and it is these unknowns that make science the most interesting.
