Some mosqutio species lay their eggs in bamboo stems, which provide for the larvae a safe environment that also meets their other needs.

Like other mosquitoes, these mosquitoes have a unique method of egg laying. The mosquito sticks its rear legs through the holes of bamboo stems into the water left inside and thus assures itself that the eggs will drop into water, where they will continue their development.

When the first rain falls the eggs go into the incubation phase. Within 2-3 days of the eggs being laid, the incubation phase comes to an end and the grubs start to hatch. The grubs inside the eggs mature and hatch at practically the same moment. Within a minute all the grubs start wandering around in the water. They move around non-stop, eating virtually anything they come across and grow at an incredible rate.

Was it the ancestors of these species of mosquito that concluded from their observations that the most secure place for their young was bamboo stems and then decided that all descendants should use the same method? Was this order then passed on from generation to generation to every new female?

As we have seen, such questions inevitably confront us at every stage. The answers to these questions lead every person with a conscience to one point: the fact of creation. In a little water collected in some bamboo stem in some part of the world or other, there is a life form that we do not know about, that we have not even thought about, and this life form has been created in a perfect manner. This perfect creation encompasses the entire universe.

God points out in a verse of the Qur'an the importance of thinking about His creations:

… And the water which God sends down from the sky-by which He brings the Earth to life when it was dead and scatters about on it creatures of every kind-and the varying directions of the winds, and the clouds subservient between heaven and earth, there are signs for people who use their intellect.
(Qur'an, 2:164)

 

And in your creation and all the creatures He has spread about far and near there are signs for true believers. (Qur'an, 45:4)
