They are wonderfully complex and amazingly diverse! Insects range from the microscopic flying parasitic wasps to the giant goliath beetle. One fly has been observed doing a Ninja-like stunt by snatching a BB fired from a gun in mid flight traveling at an estimated 90mph. Others just creep along the ground at a snail’s pace.
Each one serves a unique purpose as they go about their business keeping the planet habitable by us. As I’m cutting the grass, dozens of grasshoppers are leaping clear of my tractor. Insects are definitely underappreciated and ignored by most of us. Some like honey bees and ants are core players in this ecosystem.
All of them required an immense amount of planning and detail in each of their designs. Modern “science” may not recognize this fact, but that doesn’t alter the way things are. Maybe a better word for such “science” would be, “scilence”. The deliberate silencing of any open recognition of the vast creative work of the one that put us here.
Spending just a little time studying some of the wonderful bugs around us will surely help you see just what I mean.
