                                                       while those that live in wood-
                                                       ed areas have darker colours.
                                                           Some       species     of
                                                       Lepidoptera butterflies have
                                                       no scales on their wings, can-
                                                       not reflect light, and so are
                                                       transparent. Though it is possi-
                                                       ble to see these butterflies
                                                       while they fly, it is almost im-
                                                       possible to locate them when
                                                       they alight somewhere. This
                                                       provides a perfect protection
                                                       for the butterfly. Just as all oth-
                                                       er creatures, butterflies have
                                                       also been created with the sys-
                                                       tems with which they can meet
                                                       all their needs. Moreover, all
                                                       these are interdependent sys-
                                                       tems in which one cannot exist
                                                       without the other.
                                                           Like all other creatures in
                                                       the universe, Allah created
                                                       butterflies too with all the de-
                                                       tails they possess and en-
                                                       dowed them with all the sys-
                                                       tems they need.

                                                       the sea is very different from
                                                       on land. All the features of sea-

                                                       them to live in water in the eas-
