Tracking God News - God Cares for His Creatures - Morpho Butterflies

Written by Ron McCluskey


Continued from page 1

Many years ago, I was trying to catch one of these butterflies. I saw one flying toward me. I was sure that I was going to be able to capture it. However, just before it got to me, it landed onrepparttar trunk of a tree. Even though it was only a few feet away from me when it landed, I could not see it again until if flew. I walked over torepparttar 127017 trunk ofrepparttar 127018 tree and looked carefully at allrepparttar 127019 shrubbery aroundrepparttar 127020 tree, but I could not see it.

God is very good at taking care ofrepparttar 127021 Morpho butterfly. Although very easy to see, it is very hard for any predator to catch. God is very good at taking care of us too.

When presenting this to a group, it helps to have a camera flash.

This will helprepparttar 127026 viewer understand how it would be hard forrepparttar 127027 bird to follow it.

God has an Enemy - Cremastocheilus Beetle

Written by Ron McCluskey


Continued from page 1

When I think of this beetle, it reminds me a lot of God's enemy, sin. We are so blind, that in many respects we are just likerepparttar ant. We think that sin is normal in our lives and so we just tend to ignore it. We need special direction from God to recognize and destroyrepparttar 127016 sin in our lives.

If we don't get rid ofrepparttar 127017 sin, it will destroyrepparttar 127018 most precious things in our lives and eventually kill us as well. Let's ask God to help us to findrepparttar 127019 parasites in our lives and destroy them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Resources ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have not been able to find common books with pictures of Cremastocheilus in them. However, there are a few published onrepparttar 127020 web. I suggest going to Google.com and clicking onrepparttar 127021 images tab. Then search for cremastocheilus and you should be able to find an image or two.

If you want to collect some specimens,repparttar 127022 easiest way to do that is to put a large flat rock onrepparttar 127023 nest of one ofrepparttar 127024 large carpenter ant colonies found in most pine forests. You can tell them, because they make a large pile of pine needles and if you listen, you can hear them rustling around inside. To catch some, place a large flat rock onrepparttar 127025 side ofrepparttar 127026 nest. Come back in a few days whenrepparttar 127027 sun has been warming uprepparttar 127028 rock. One of these beetles can often be found warming up underrepparttar 127029 rock.
