Description
The firefly squid, also known as Watasenia scintillans, is a fascinating species of cephalopod that inhabits the deep ocean waters. Its name comes from the bioluminescence it emits, creating a light show in the dark of the sea depths. These mysterious creatures have a translucent, gelatinous body, which makes them almost invisible in their natural environment. However, when they emit their light, which is produced by symbiotic bacteria in your body, they become visible and create an incredible visual effect.
The firefly squid's bioluminescence serves mainly for communication and camouflage. They can control the intensity and pattern of their lights, using them to communicate with other members of their species, attract prey or confuse predators.
