What is the most hated insect in
the summer? My answer is "mosquitoes". They bite us without
giving causing pain. I'm sure that no one likes them and
you hope that they should wants them to be gone. Actually, however, they
are helping help our lives. There
are is an injection needle which is inspired by the way
the mosquitoes suck blood. This injection needle does not
give cause pain like mosquitoes. This is "biomimicry". The word "biomimicry"
is made with comes from "bio" and "mimicry". "Bio" means "biology" and "mimicry" means "imitating". It means developing technology by imitating the shape, structure, and function of various creature
s. One of the other examples is the lid of yogurt. By imitating water-repellent the water-repelency of the rotus leaf, it is difficult to attach yogurt and it can keep clean.(Doesn't make sense.) This technology can give a water-repellency without chemicals, so it is good for the environment.
Then, look at this picture. This is a vacuum cleaner which was inspired by the tongue of cats. This vacuum cleaner hardens trash and makes it compact like the way cats groom their hair.
Why biomimicry is attracted (?) now? Biomimicry makes us replize (realize?) how important nature is. We have destroyed nature by developing new technology. However, nature and creatures give us a lot of clues on how to make a life better better life for both humans and themselves (better use a word like "animals" or "living organisms"). Therefore, we must protect nature and live together with nature.
