  • This is a firefly squid (Watasenia scintillans). This deepwater species ascends to relatively shallow water for reproduction purposes. Sometimes, as is pictured here, individuals appear to become disoriented, repeatedly hitting the substrate for no apparent reason. This species is known for its bioluminescence.

Animals of this genus are normally found at depths exceeding 400m in the waters of northern Japan. This individual was sighted during a period of upwelling of cold water from the deep.

  • This is a species of flashing firefly in Japan known as genjibotaru (Luciola cruciata) engaging in group bioluminescent display along the bank of a small river in Shikoku province. The light of the fireflies is being reflected off the surface of the water. This activity commences at dusk and carries on through the night. This image is a composite of seventeen photographs.
