Japanese Pygmy Squid Spermatophore Delivery | Idiosepius paradoxus
Male Japanese pygmy squids (Idiosepius paradoxus) like the darker squid on the right side of this image often approach females in the process of depositing eggs to pass on spermatophores. Pictured here is the moment the female has accepted spermatophores from the male. Spermatophores that she has previously received from other males are visible attached to her mantle.
