THE CATERPILLAR WHEEL
This larvae of the mother-of-pearl moth can do something very rarely seen in nature. It can roll itself into a ball to escape when danger is presented and roll away from it. It can even escape by rolling backward, and it is self-propelled, something engineers have been studying and trying to copy.
The caterpillar can go from flat-and-stationary to rolling in just 60 milliseconds (six-hundredths of a second). Its travel speed makes it “one of the fastest self-propelled wheeling behaviors in nature."
Engineering scientists developed a robot that can copy the caterpillar but can not move backward in the same way. They ended up admitting, “How caterpillar musculature produces such power in such a short time is yet to be discovered.”
A lesson from all this is that just as no one would say that a robot was not designed, so too should that apply to the life form that inspired it. Of course, that goes against the evolutionary narrative that there was no Creator. But the more that living things are studied and reveal their design intricacies, so all the more the Psalmist’s statement rings loud and true: “O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all” (Psalm 104:24).
