ohscience: an array of suckers found on the tentacles of a long-finned squid. Each sucker—about 400 micrometers wide, or a little smaller than the width of a human hair—is surrounded with “fangs” of chitin, a hard organic material. Squid use their powerful suckers to secure unwitting prey and feed their robust appetites—much like the horror-movie plant that inspired the image’s color scheme—little shop of horrors, of course.
