For the #SciArtSeptember prompt: illuminated and a bonus mesopelagic #invertebrate for #InsertAnInvert2024 it’s my #linocut of the #bioluminescent firefly squid! The firefly squid (Watasenia scintillans), also called sparkling enope squid or hotaru-ika in Japan, live at depth (200 to 400 m) and are bioluminescent and emit blue light from photophores. 🧵1/

A few of my ocean creatures for #WorldOceanDay. We call this planet Earth but it is more than 70% ocean; the continents and islands are the exception not the rule on what is mainly an ocean planet. The oceans are the biggest biosphere, a huge driver of climate, a major source of food, medicine, life and livelihood for many. 🧵1/n

My Firefly Squid 🦑 linocut for #cephalopodWeek!

This is a linocut print of the firefly squid (Watasenia scintillans), also called sparkling enope squid or hotaru-ika in Japan. These tiny squid live at depth (200 to 400 m) & they are bioluminescent & emit blue light from photophores.

The print shows the squid against a white background so you can see the whole animal & then its reflection is shown …
