Mating
The first of two posts that tell a story. This one captures the moment of mating between Caribbean reef squid. The moment happened so quickly that I didn't see it live. I only knew what happened once I looked at the captured image.
We spent about 1 hour watching the mating and the combat with this pair plus a bunch of other males competing for her attention. They didn't mind us. Maybe that is because they were busy with what they were doing and their life would be over shortly afterwards.
If you are curious to watch something that looked like what we saw: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YViRSgYys1o
