My nephew is doing his science fair project on octopus reproduction. I’ve found several sites that have good images and diagrams of the male and female anatomy. However, we are still trying to find at least one really good diagram. We’d like to find one that shows and diagrams the male sex arm. I’ve searched Google images and the best I was able to get was the generalized diagram of the male anatomy. Any ideas?

They have an e-mail link, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they have larger original photos not on the web site. It might be worth asking:

i don’t remember the exact issue, but the journal of the american association of zoo veterinarians has a paper with detailed dissection and description of octopus anatomy. i think it’s from around 1997.
