When i first saw this i went “What the heck is this?”. Its a firefly squid. What?!? A flying squid?? Im not sure what category should i put it in. An animal? Insect? or ….bird? This firefly squid can only be found at Toyama Bay. Its really an incredible scene rite? Picture and description after the break.

It comes in large numbers every spring in a phenomenon that has been designated a special natural monument. Peak firefly squid season means big catches for fishermen and brisk business for sightseeing boats that provide close-up views of the magical action. As the fishermen haul in their nets, the light emitted by the firefly squid causes the sea surface to glow a cobalt blue, evoking squeals of delight from the tourists.
