For example: Brazil nut trees (Bertholletia excelsa) are dependent on several animal species for their survival.

These large canopy trees found in the Amazon rainforest, rely on the agouti, a ground dwelling rodent, for part of their life cycle. The agouti is the only animal with teeth strong enough to open their grapefruit-sized seed pods. While the agouti eats some of the Brazil nut's seeds, it also scatters the seeds across the forest by burying caches far away from the parent tree. These seeds then germinate and form the next generation of trees. For pollination, Brazil nut trees are dependent on Euglossine orchid bees. Without these large-bodied bees, Brazil nut reproduction is not possible.

You're welcome, Mike! Indeed, God's works are beautiful.

Let's not forget the little guys.

Ant-Aphid Symbiosis. Even God's littlest creatures find ways to work together to survive.

Jassid Nymph - Ant Symbiosis






note: Meat Ants harvest Leaf Hoppers for their honey dew. The ants get an energy rich food source and the Leaf Hoppers receive protection from predators.

it is something that only God can design and no human can ever fathom

hehe it brings to light the message from Matthew Chapter 6!!


25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?  28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
