The firefly squid is a sea creature introduced in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons 1.3.0 Free Summer Update in July 2020. It appears from 9 PM to 4 AM as a tiny, slow shadow from spring to early summer. It, the spiny lobster, and the horseshoe crab are the only three sea creatures in the game to appear exclusively during the 9 PM to 4 AM timeframe.

Donating to the museum[edit]
Blathers will say the following when given a firefly squid:
"The firefly squid is a wee migratory squid that barely reaches three inches in length. And though they usually live in deep water, they do venture to the coast to spawn. Like their firefly namesakes, these sparkling squid emit a blue bioluminescent glow. This glow may be used to threaten enemies, communicate with friends, or, perhaps, to lure food in. Truth be told, we do not know for sure why the firefly squid glows. We remain in the dark, as they say."
Once donated to the museum, the firefly squid is displayed in the deep sea area of the fish exhibit alongside the spider crab.
