* Paralarvae: These are the earliest stage of squid development. They are free-swimming and feed on plankton.
* Juveniles: Juveniles are larger than paralarvae and begin to take on the shape of adult squid. They will continue to grow and develop, feeding on larger prey.
* Adults: Adult squid are fully grown and capable of reproducing. They will continue to grow throughout their lives, but they will not change much in appearance.
The time it takes for a squid to reach adulthood varies depending on the species. Some species may reach adulthood in just a few months, while others may take several years.
