The development of larvae prompts the older ants to start a new mi-
gration cycle. This is how it works: larvae give out a secretion when they
are licked and cleaned by the workers. Research has shown that this flu-
id is effective in the decision to migrate. 38
It would be a weakness of logic to claim that larvae which have not
even gained the identity of an ant yet, have thought of secreting such a
fluid and have directed the whole colony towards fulfilling their needs.
The only thing that a smart observer can spot is the existence of a
supreme Creator and His information and sovereignty that are all around
us.

Velvet Ants
Velvet ants, which lead their lives in deserts, have excessively hairy
bodies. Their natural coat serves as a heat-isolating layer. It preserves the
heat in during the cold nights of the desert, and protects them from the
heat during the day. Male velvet ants, because of their wings, are able
to avoid the heat of the sand by flying. Yet female velvet ants have to
walk around on hot sand, because they have no wings. They need this
coat to be protected from the heat coming from ground as well as from
the sun.
Then, what is the explanation for the insect having such a "coat" to
protect it from adverse weather conditions? It is impossible to claim that
the animal has acquired it by adapting to nature as part of the process
of evolution, because this would lead to many questions remaining
unanswered: Did the female velvet ants die due to high temperatures be-
fore having such a coat? If this was the case, how did they wait for gen-
erations to have a coat "by coincidence"? Through what kind of a coin-
cidence did they get this body?
These questions are, of course, without answers, because these in-
sects could not have obtained their "coats" that protect them from the
heat by the mechanisms evolutionists keep suggesting, because these
ants cannot live without this coat, and they have no time to wait for mu-
tations which occur very seldom - and which are all harmful. It is clear
that the animals have been designed from the outset to withstand the cli-
mate they live in.
Female velvet ants look for any type of insect nest or bee hive that
they can use after leaving their place of mating. When they do, they go
