Welcome to Fast Facts with Reasons for Hope!
I’m Carl Kerby and today we’re talking about one of the most amazingly delicate, yet durable insects in the world … and they have scales! Any guess what it is?
If you said the butterfly, you’re correct!
Some think the “butterfly” got its name from the “Yellow Brimstone Butterfly,” which is found in England flying around the meadows during the spring and summer butter season. They look like “butter” flying by! Get it!?!
Their scientific name, “Lepidoptera,” actually means, “scaly wings.” That’s a great name for them because their wings are covered with tiny scales.
But to begin the butterfly series, we’re going to focus on a bigger, better word that brings this baffling beauty into perspective.
The word is metamorphosis. Webster tells us that this word means change of physical form, structure, or substance … especially by supernatural means! Wow!
Fact is … when a single organism completely changes its body structure almost instantly, like a caterpillar does when it becomes a butterfly, a logical mind has to rule out the evolutionary process.
What we’re saying is that metamorphosis is mesmerizing and miraculous, but we’ll have to talk about that in another Fast Facts with Reasons for Hope.
Until then … stay bold!
