MEET YOUR CREATOR: APPRECIATING HASHEM’S GREAT OUTDOORS Completely Bugged out Finding hashem’s wisdom in insects "?"????? ?' ?? ?????? There is infinite wisdom with which insects were designed and created U sually, people give little attention to bugs. All we know is that these tiny critters cause us a lot of frustration. Throughout the summer, we tend to wave our hands endlessly at the constant nagging of misquotes and bees. Unfortunately, however, we neglect to recognize the infinite wisdom with which they were designed and created. If we would just take a look at the minute differences from one insect to another as each one attends to its inborn duties, we would find an incredible appreciation for '?’??s world. The deathwatch beetle, although weak and soft, eats through and digests wood L et us take a quick look at the death-watch beetle. This weak, soft creature bores its way through wood, which it is able to digest. In its alimentary canal there are pockets of yeast plants which function like a brewery in order to digest the wood. How exactly did the death-watch beetle acquire these yeast plants? There were none inside the egg from which it was hatched. In fact, the mother beetle has two receptacles of yeast plants located near the orifice from which she lays eggs, and therefore, each egg emerges with yeast plants clinging to the shell. When the baby beetle eats its way out of the shell, it swallows some of the yeast plants along with the shell. How about that for Divine design! 2
