On the 14th day of Squidmas, my Chun book gave to me... Sparkly little Pterygioteuthis (1-3, 6&7 P. giardi; the rest P. gemmata). These wee 'fire' squids (family Pyroteuthidae) pack a lot of twinkle into a small body (ML rarely >5cm)! Chun (1910) Plate XIV.

On the 9th day of Squidmas, my Chun book gave to me... Bathyteuthis abyssicola, a wee deep-sea decabrachian (not true squid) that broods its eggs like a sheet of tiny lightbulbs; see video by : https://t.co/6eSmokybV2. Chun (1910) Plate XXIV.
