Page 55 - Allah's Artistry in Colour

In the photographs grasshoppers
are seen imitating leaves. A central
vein and two symmetrical halves
on two sides of this vein, which are
present in the general structure of
leaves, are also fully present in
these grasshoppers as seen in the
photographs.

The patterns on the grasshopper below are very similar to traces of a kind of parasitic
fungus on leaves. In addition, since its long legs could betray a grasshopper's pres-
ence, the legs of some grasshoppers, as is the case with the grasshopper seen here,
are almost transparent. 27 Surely, the animals themselves do not consciously choose
to do these imitations that are so perfect as not to leave out the dry parts and folds of
a leaf. Allah, Who creates everything perfectly, created the grasshoppers.
