Today I was measuring Idiosepius paradoxus (pygmy squid) in comparison to the local squid here in Woods Hole Massachusetts, Doryteuthus pealeii. Both squid here are hatchlings that are 2 days old, and the larger one is the Doryteuthus. These guys hatch to be around 3mm long, and the idiosepius generally are somewhere between 1.25-2.25mm long in the first 24 hours after hatching. Cute baby squid!
