This is a tube and the top of it stays
out of wat e r . The a i r that goe s through th i s
t ube a l l ows t he t i ny mo s qu i t o t ha t i s unde r
water to breathe.
However, there is an important problem. This
tube stays out of water but even the sl ightest
wave could cause water to enter i t and thi s would
mean t ha t t he t i ny mo s qu i t o wou l d d r own . T h i s
doesn’t happen. A sticky substance at the end of this
tube prevents water from entering it . Do you think
that the larvae you see in the pi cture could have
said, “Let’s put a sticky substance at the end of our
tube, so that water doesn’t get inside”? Could l ittle
mo s qu i t o e s hav e s u c h i n t e l l i gen c e and t a l en t ?
Obv i ous l y l i t t l e mosqu i toes cannot th i nk of do i ng
such things. Al lah is the One Who creates the tube so
that they can breathe and the st icky substance at
the end of the tube so that water doesn’t enter .
As you can see, Al lah does not protect just you, He
also protects al l other l iving creatures.
Don’t think that the adventure is over . It is sti l l
going on.
Meanwh i l e , the l i t t l e mosqu i t oe s change the i r
skins a couple of times. Final ly, they take the shape
that you see on the left . It sti l l doesn’t look l ike a
mosqu i to , doe s i t ? Th i s phas e of the mosqu i to i s
cal l ed the pupal stage . Ins ide the she l l cal l ed the
c o c oon , t he mo s qu i t o ma t u r e s
completely and takes the true shape
of a mosqui to . He becomes ready to
f l y w i t h h i s an t enna , mou t h , f e e t ,
wings , and the eyes that make up a
large portion of its head. But first, he
must get out of the shel l .
