For maneuverability and multidirectional flight (including
flight backwards! :o),
the dragonfly is a master of apparently effortless flight.

The secret of the bumblebee that had scientist scratching their
heads about how it could fly with such tiny wings is that it
flaps them forward AND backward for double the lift.
The design of such a creature is an example of irreducible
complexity. A bumblebee HAD to be able to flap its wings in both
directions from the beginning of its species' existence or it
would not have been able to fly.
This is no small feat. WHY? Because the wing muscle velocity of
movement for a double flap HAS to be able to use energy without
overheating the bumblebee (like the hummingbird, a creature
totally unrelated to a bumblebee). Hence, it has a very special
metabolism, unlike birds (it's far heavier in proportion to its
wings than the hummingbird) and most, if not all, other insects.
This creature is not the product of random chance. The amazing
bumblebee, like ALL the living creatures we see in nature, was
DESIGNED on God's drawing board.

Try to imagine a "transitional life form" to a Lady

Feast your eyes on the [b]complex wing machinery of the Lady
Bug. Its twin shell wing protectors open forward to allow large
FOLDED wings to unfold and double flap (like a bumblebee but
much slower because of the greater wing size)[/b].
Try to imagine a "transitional life form" to a Lady Bug. ???
Would it function without all the flying machinery exactly as it
has them now? Of course NOT!
Maybe you don't want to believe God created the Lady Bug, but
"evolution" sure didn't!
This tiny bug is more complex and has more moving parts than a
B747, but we are supposed to believe the FANTASY that this
amazing little bug came about by random mutations?

How Long Can Birds Stay in Flight?
HTML http://www.avianweb.com/images/birds/AlpineSwift2.jpg
Alpine Swift
Alpine swifts, birds that weigh less than 0.25 pounds (0.11 kg),
are able to fly continuously for more than six months. :o These
birds have been tracked with electronic tags and found to have
been in the air for more than 200 days. It is thought that their
diet of airborne insects and an ability to rest in mid-air are
contributing factors to this ability. Movement tracking devices
for animals were developed in the 1960s, but versions small
enough to be attached to birds weren’t available until the early
2000s.
More about birds' flight:
•A female bar-tailed godwit was once recorded flying
continuously for 7,145 miles (11,500 km) from Alaska to New
Zealand, which is roughly equivalent to a person running 43.5
miles (70 km) per hour for a week.
•Ruby-throated hummingbirds have been found to be able to make a
flight from the Yucatan Peninsula in southeastern Mexico to the
southern US in less than one day.
•The tern is estimated to migrate about 1.5 million miles (2.4
million km) during its average lifespan of 30 years, which is
equivalent to traveling to the moon and back three times.

Bee Fuzz

I always admired the fact that bees have fuzz.
HTML http://robservations.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/happy-cat1.jpg
When they flap their wings, having that fuzz causes a static
charge to build up so that when they land on a flower, the
pollen jumps at the bee! :o Those amazing little Earthlings
have been using Renewable electricity to catch pollen grains for
millions of years!

And now the big question for the atheists. What came first, the
bees or the angiosperms?
HTML http://www.coh2.org/images/Smileys/huhsign.gif
If you say they were evolved "simultaneously', you lose the
"it's all random chance and their is NO intelligent design"
debate!
HTML http://www.imgion.com/images/01/Angry-animated-smiley.jpg
After all, bees are just a little different from angiosperms,
wouldn't you say?
HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-051113192052.png<br
/>
Bees are threatened from a variety of causes that Homo SAP has
brought about. Scientists don't know all the causes but are
convinced the immune systems of bees all over the world are
becoming compromised.
Scientists further state that mankind, as well as a lot of
flowering plants, will have a difficult time surviving if the
bees perish.

Semachrysa jade

Semachrysa jade
Taxonomy — the exploration and classification of species — has
been around as a scientific discipline since the 1700s. The
discovery of new species is generally performed by taxonomists
who go on fieldwork missions to seek out new species in various
geographical regions and climates.
A physical specimen typically is collected and compared against
existing species in a catalog. The discoveries also often happen
by accident or via tips from individuals, particularly since the
technology for high-definition photography has been available.
For example, in 2012, an insect named Semachrysa jade was
discovered after a hiker posted a picture from Malaysia on the
website Flickr and an entomologist suspected that it was a new
species. It was the first known species discovered as a result
of social media.
More about new species:
The International Institute for Species Exploration estimated
that, as of 2012, only 2 million of a possible 12 million living
species had been discovered. :o
About 50% of all newly discovered species are insects.
Before embarking on fieldwork missions, taxonomists often use
the website Google Earth to scout locations that are the most
likely to result in the discovery of new species.

social media, we might just identify the other Earthlings in our
biosphere before we manage to kill most of them, AND US :(, off
by burning fossil fuels... [/move]
