白斑烏賊一般比較容易觀察到成體，春季交配後約4-6月間，於海床之硬底質上產卵。所產下的卵聚集呈團狀，卵鞘呈葡萄狀，胚胎在卵膜內發育。因無法確認何時會孵化，所以比較難拍攝到剛孵化出來的幼體。只能透過觀察卵黃囊的大小，體表色素細胞變化和是否出現孵化前的躁動，來等待孵化的畫面。孵化後的烏賊在休息片刻後，隨即接受大自然的挑戰。頭足類長得很像科幻片的外星生物，而牠們的卵，也很像在宇宙間穿梭時居住的太空艙。

It is generally easier to observe adult broadclub cuttlefish, which reproduce in spring, between April and June, laying their eggs in clusters that look like bunches of grapes on the hard seabed. The embryo develops within the egg case. Because there is no way to know the exact hatching time, it is difficult to photograph newly hatched juveniles. We can only observe the size of the yolk sac, changes in the chromatophores on the body surface, and movement indicative of impending hatching, then wait. As newly hatched cuttlefish rest, they start to face the challenges of nature. Cephalopods resemble alien creatures depicted in sci-fi films, while their eggs resemble capsules used to travel through space.
