The Sun, the Moon, and Caterpillar Cocoons


Bible Reading: James 1:17-18

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17, NIV


DO YOU KNOW where glass comes from? How about rubber or penicillin? See if you can match each item in the left column with its source in the right column.

1.RUBBERA. THE SUN
2.SILKB. SEA ANIMALS
3.PENICILLINC. SAND, LIME, AND SODA
4.GLASSD. SHEEP
5.MOONLIGHTE. ELEPHANT TUSKS
6.SPONGESF. MOLD
7.WOOLG. TREES
8.WAXH. CATERPILLAR COCOONS
9.LEATHERI. ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, AND MINERAL OILS
10.IVORYJ. ANIMAL SKINS

So, how many did you get right? More important, what's the point? Well, how about this: Can you add one more answer in the column on the right that would be the source for every one of the things in the left-hand column?

IFL Science: Stealing Baby Howler Monkeys Is Suddenly All The Rage Among Capuchins On Jicarón Island

  Stealing Baby Howler Monkeys Is Suddenly All The Rage Among Capuchins On Jicarón Island White-faced capuchin monkeys on Jicarón Island have started abducting baby howler monkeys, surprised scientists report. It’s possible this behavior comes in waves, but it had not been detected in the first five years scientists intensively studied the population, and now appears to be spreading widely. The reasons are still unknown, but the authors think adolescent male boredom may be at the heart of it. Jicarón Island lies in the Pacific off the coast of Panama and forms part of Coiba National Park. The island’s isolation from the mainland makes it a natural laboratory for scientists observing monkey behavior. That research attracted global attention when some white-faced capuchin monkeys there were observed to have “ entered the Stone Age ”, using stones to break open coconuts and crabs. The fact that this stone-cracking behavior seemed to be restricted to some of Jicarón’s capuchins, and no...

  “It Can Suck Down Earthworms Like Spaghetti”: The Mission To Save A Really Big Snail It’s hard not to feel jealous of New Zealand , home to some of the planet’s most spectacular organisms. They’ve got blue mushrooms and the world’s rarest and most eccentric birds (that aren’t easy to get sperm from , FYI). The most recent specimen to catch our eye? A snail whose worm slurping skills makes that spaghetti scene in Lady And The Tramp look amateur. If this is your first time hearing about the snail Powelliphanta hochstetteri, prepare to be impressed. For starters, these babies are massive. About the size of a lemon, they have beautiful brown shells and big black bodies. Becoming such a unit takes calories, which is why these snails have developed a taste for meat. “These snails are quite special because they’re carnivorous,” said science advisor and director of operations for Project Janszoon Ruth Bollongino to Justine Hausheer for The Nature Conservancy. “They’re not after the let...
