For the #SciArtSeptember#invertebrate#InsertAnInvert2024#linocut#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) & 🧵

My linocut print shows the firefly squid against a white background on the left side of the square so you can see the whole animal and then its reflection is shown on the right against dark blue so you can see how its bioluminescence would appear underwater with fluorescent blue spots. On the left it’s a deep orange-pink squid with large gold and black eye. On the right you can see its body is covered with bright blue spots. The print is 8" x 8" (20.3 cm x 20.3 cm) on white Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

emit blue light from photophores. The print shows the squid against a white background so you can see the whole animal and then its reflection is shown against dark blue so you can see how its #bioluminescence would appear underwater with fluorescent blue spots. 🧵2/3
