I love that grumpy #squid on a Greek #fish plate from Apulia, dating 330-300 BC. Fish plates were decorated with various examples of seafood. They were invented in Athens in the 5th c. BC. Most of them are found in Southern Italy, where they were produced in the 4th c. BC.
Speaking of Festivals, here's Jeff Vandermeer's original article on "The Florida Freshwater Squid", going into great detail on the origin, biology and natural history of the Mayfly Squid. He ends with a first person recounting of his experiences at the annual Festival of the Freshwater Squid in Sebring, Florida.
Incredible footage of a black-eyed squid hauling thousands of her eggs across the ocean. During this long period of 6-9 months the squid never lets go, and doesn’t even eat.
Sadly I was only able to find this footage on IG on Schmidt Ocean’s account. It’s remarkable.
Astonishing Video Gives Rare Glimpse of a Mother Squid’s Ultimate Sacrifice
Mesmerizing footage captures the incredible mom powers of a black-eyed squid as she hauls thousands of eggs through the ocean, for many months, not once letting go. Not even to feed.
In 2018 I crocheted myself a squid costume, with silvery yarns and big metal grommets for suckers on the tentacles. Photographed at Redondo Beach Pier. #crochet#squid#kraken#costume#redondobeach
Any #linux#squid users out there? I could use some help getting ssl bump to work so that I can filter https traffic. My friend wants me to build a content filter for her kids so they only can get to websites she approves of. I have squid basically working and will deny http requests but not https. 😕. If you could point me in the direction of a known working tutorial for version 6, I'd be appreciative.
Today's random portfolio artwork post is a fishy mural I painted for The Children's Museum of Indianapolis (human shape added for scale). It's a Western Interior Seaway scene featuring Squalicorax (#shark), Tusoteuthis (#squid), an octopod (in the shark's mouth), and a school of Apsopelix #fish.
For the #SciArtSeptember prompt glowing, 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. 🧵1/2
Most squids reproduce by depositing egg cases on the seafloor or releasing eggs in a gelatinous mass that drifts in open water. #Brooding is common among bottom-dwelling octopuses, but we’ve only observed this behavior in three #squid species. Researchers suspect other deep-dwelling squids may also turn out to be brooders. #wildlife#ocean#DeepSea#pelagichttps://youtu.be/RUc-N4IOt4c
Happy #Squidtember! Here's a lovely 🦑 weirdo that showed up to perform inverted balletic contortions for the cameras onboard NOAA's Okeanos Explorer, during a dive in the Gulf of Mexico in 2018.
You gotta love a deep-sea sighting that can make a marine biologist exclaim: "What is THAT?"
