I remember seeing this and thinking how remarkable it was. Right up there with all those other wild things that we find in nature like the hydraulic pump, articulated limbs, leverage, powered flight, optical signal processing, balance, GPS in insects and birds, sonar, nerve toxins, information storage and processing, orbits and interplanetary travel.
We like to think of ourselves and our achievements as unique and singular but all that we ever really do is mimic.
