Clip 8 - strike touch



The two squid in the picture form a saddle-stripe pair in parallel over-under position. The male uses his arms to deliver the spermatophore package by touching and striking the female at her arm base. If the mating was successful the female will take the spermatophore and stuff it into her mantle cavity (not visible here).
