HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)



          are still buried in the earth, whether it is day or night, that predators exist
          outside and that they could fall a prey to them, that the sand is scorching
          because of the Sun, that this could harm them, and that they must rush to the
          sea. So, how does this conscious conduct come about?
             The only answer to this question is that these hatchlings have been

          has inspired in them the instinct that helps them protect their lives.

             Bombardier Beetle

             The bombardier beetle is an insect on which an enormous amount of
          research has been done. The trait that renders this insect so popular is that it
          uses chemical methods to protect itself from its enemies.
             In moments of danger, the insect squirts hydrogen peroxide and
          hydroquinone stored in its body towards the enemy to protect itself. Prior to
          battle, specialised structures called secretory lobes make a very concentrated
          mixture of these two chemicals. The mixture is stored in a separate
          compartment called the storage chamber. This compartment is connected to
          a second one called the explosion chamber. The two compartments are kept
          separate from one another by a sphincter muscle. The moment the insect
