More on moths
Our ‘Marvellous moth motif’ photo (Creation 29(3):56) prompted several responses. Just a week before his magazine arrived, Robert Perry (Victoria, Canada) photographed an Atlas moth at the Victoria Butterfly Gardens that had a Cobra on each wing (photo at right). Robert asks, ‘How could these moths have possibly evolved such accurate images by random chance?’
Ruth W. (Salisbury, England) mentioned other examples of God’s wonderful design. The flower of the Bee Orchid has a beautifully marked lower lip resembling a bee’s abdomen. Then there’s the Wasp Orchid, the Fly Orchid, and the Butterfly Orchid. They are all designed to attract a specific kind of insect to pollinate the flowers. These matching designs, as with the moth motifs, may be due to adaptation, rather than direct creation. Many distinctive orchid species may derive from a single ‘pluripotent’ ancestor, rather than each being an original creation. Nevertheless, they all point in clear, living colour to design.
