Glowing Firefly Squids

In Japan, they have Glowing Firefly Squids which glow as they reach the shore.


The coast of Namerikawa is the habitat of the world famous glowing firefly squid, which surface yearly in a phenomenon that has been designated a special natural monument.

The Glowing Firefly Squids also known as sparkling enope squid exhibits bioluminescence. Each tentacle has an organ called a photophore, which produces light. When flashed, these lights attract small fish, on which the squid can then feed.
