Biomimetics: Design by Nature

biomimetics—applying designs from nature to solve problems in engineering, materials science, medicine, and other fields.

Insects offer an embarrassment of design riches. (emphasis added)

Glowworms produce a cool light with almost zero energy loss (a normal incandescent bulb wastes 98 percent of its energy as heat),
Bombardier beetles have a high-efficiency combustion chamber in their posterior that shoots boiling-hot chemicals at would-be predators.
The Melanophila beetle, which lays its eggs in freshly burned wood, has ... a structure that can detect the precise infrared radiation produced by a forest fire, allowing it to sense a blaze a hundred kilometers away. This talent is currently being explored by the United States Air Force. (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/04/biomimetics/tom-mueller-text)

(Note: There is likely an abundance of examples of amazing insects of which I am unaware.)

Juvenile Grasshopper
(Patanga japonica ツチイナゴ)

Giant Leopard Moth
(Ecpantheria scribonia)

Ant
(Formicidae)

Peablue Butterfly
(Lampides boeticus)

There are several examples in my article "Evolutionists Tacitly Admit Creation" and some may be duplicated in that article and this one.

Insects are, in my opinion, God’s choice to demonstrate
His omnipotent artistic and engineering abilities.

Dr. Joseph Mastropaolo refers to God’s creation as a demonstration of “vast originality”. ...

What about the pesky, dirty fly? There are more similarities between humans and fruit flies than you might first think. We share about 60 per cent of our (DNA) genes with them* - and scientists at Cambridge University are taking a close look at the insects to see if new things can be learned about our own human bodies.
