Idiosepius paradoxus Depositing Eggs | Pygmy Squid

This is a close-up view of a female Japanese pygmy squid (Idiosepius paradoxus) depositing eggs on a blade of eelgrass (Zostera marina). After finishing with an egg, females lift away from the substrate like this, perhaps as part of the process of preparing the next egg. Photographed at two times life-size magnification.
