It’s deep sea month for #InsertAnInvert2024 starting with the mesopelagic twilight zone in the upper 200 to 1000 m water depth and going deeper. So I’m sharing this adorable Bobtail squid (actually, not a squid, but a cephalopod of order Sepiolida, closer to cuttlefish) is printed by hand onto black Japanese washi paper with a deckle edge. 🧵1/2

Euprymna scolope, the Hawaiian bobtail squid! This tiny squish has several superpowers including making sand suits and fishing for bioluminescent bacteria as babies that they stash in their light organs for use in hiding their silhouette at night.
