A CREATURE THAT AMAZES. 

A study of the monarch butterfly should convince anyone of God’s amazing design.  Consider just a few of the monarch’s abilities:

• The female butterfly uses six sharp needles on her forelegs to test for food’s chemical composition. 
• The caterpillar increases in weight 2,700 percent in 20 days. 
• The female butterfly can smell a male butterfly two miles away. 
• The female butterfly can store sperm and delay egg-laying for months if she is impregnated too close to migration time. 
• The butterfly navigates alone to a never-before-seen location over 2,000 miles away. 
• As a caterpillar, it digests only one type of plant, the milkweed, which is poisonous to other animals that eat it but not to this caterpillar. 

The monarch butterfly chemically reconstructs itself from a caterpillar with six simple eyes which can only see in black and white, a chewing mouthpiece, sixteen legs, and the ability to crawl. It becomes a butterfly with two eyes that can see in color (each with 6,000 lenses), a sucking mouthpiece, six legs, four wings, and the ability to fly.

The probability of random-chance mutations evolving this perfectly timed, chemically miraculous metamorphosis from caterpillar to monarch butterfly is far beyond the realm of reason.
