Insigniteuthis obscura [Insigniteuthis obscura]
Description
This deep-sea squid is a true twilight-zone visitor, typically encountered far beyond typical recreational depths. Divers who do see it (usually via submersibles or rare deep dives) may notice a sleek, dark body with subtle light-producing features that help it blend into the dim water.
