THE MIRACLE OF MIMICRY - Herbert W Armstrong - March 1979

Herbert W Armstrong

Wherever we look throughout the myriad forms of life on earth, we see evidence of the awesome genius of the Great Creator. Perhaps nowhere is stunning beauty and intricate design so apparent as in the thousands of living creatures that exhibit camouflage, mimicry, and other forms of protective coloration. An excellent example of camouflage can be seen in the walking stick insect, a creature shaped so much like an ordinary stick that it is difficult to see on the trees where it feeds; or the walking leaf insect, which looks remarkably like a green leaf; or the dead leaf butterfly. Did such creatures have the ability to plan and produce such perfectly executed camouflage? Or was a Supreme Mastermind at work here? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
