Love is in the air… and underwater!  Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

A pair of California Market Squid (Loligo opalescent) embrace in the water column at night in the warm waters off of Channel Islands in California. The male’s arms blush a red color as a warning during spawning, commanding competing males to stay away. Like alien spacecraft, squid move through the water flashing colors and using ‘jet propulsion’ to quickly move in all directions. Squid are like the James Dean of the sea - they live fast and die young - with most species living no more than 18 months.
