fun fact that I have to tell right now

it's bioluminescent!

Reproduction

Adaptation

  • poisonous!
  • animals that try to eat it will surely NOT eat it again
  • so it will keep on growing

How it reflects God as a creater

  • bioluminescent!
  • poisonous
  • so small, only 1 x 0.5
  • very creative, thoughtful, and generous
