When an octopus first lays its eggs, they’re smaller than a grain of rice. The eggs are so delicate they have to be constantly watched over.

When the baby octopuses emerge from their eggs, they come out fully formed but tiny. They weigh only 0.001 ounces (0.03 grams). You’d think this would make them hard to see, but since eggs are laid by the tens of thousands, they’re easily spotted!
