looks like the diver’s snorkel the
child in the next picture is using.
This is a tube and the top of it stays
out of water. The air that goes through this

tube allows the tiny mosquito that is under
water to breathe.
However, there is an important problem. This

wave could cause water to enter it and this would l larva
mean that the tiny mosquito would drown. This
doesn’t happen. A sticky substance at the end of this
tube prevents water from entering it. Do you think
that the larvae you see in the picture could have
said, “Let’s put a sticky substance at the end of our
tube, so that water doesn’t get inside”? Could little
mosquitoes have such intelligence and talent?
Obviously little mosquitoes cannot think of doing
such things. Allah is the One Who creates the tube so
that they can breathe and the sticky substance at
the end of the tube so that water doesn’t enter.

As you can see, Allah does not protect just you, He
also protects all other living creatures.
Don’t think that the adventure is over. It is still
going on.
Meanwhile, the little mosquitoes change their
skins a couple of times. Finally, they take the shape
that you see on the left. It still doesn’t look like a
mosquito, does it? This phase of the mosquito is
called the pupal stage. Inside the shell called the

cocoon, the mosquito matures
completely and takes the true shape
of a mosquito. He becomes ready to
fly with his antenna, mouth, feet,
wings, and the eyes that make up a
large portion of its head. But first, he
must get out of the shell.
