Colors.. nature signals

Colors play a big role in human life...
Likewise, animals and plants, and with them, colors have a crucial role that determines their survival or their demise, in addition to the fact that colors are a language of conversation, signaling, and reproduction for the creatures of nature.
Scientific reports have elaborated on the details of this matter, and we will quote a brief summary of it in the text and in expressive images.

Colors in nature are everything and are not just ornaments and embellishments. Rather, it can be said that they have specific and sensitive tasks. One can cite the thick color layer that protects colored people from the strong rays of the sun in Africa, for example, as well as the war paint that the Native Americans took from animals, whose mission is to bring terror and panic into the heart of the opponent. Hence to denote the intrinsic force.
The matter is very similar to a woman’s lipstick, and although nature made the woman’s lips more triangular and colorful than the man’s lips, the woman deliberately highlighted them, more than four thousand years ago, by exaggerating the size, color, and precise composition, by applying artificial red color on them.
Desmond Morris, a British zoologist and researcher of animal behavior, found a clear explanation for lipstick, pointing out that the four-legged monkeys we called our ancestors, who are known to have pink and swollen asses, radiated from them the so-called six-apple. When our ancestors learned to walk upright, this transformation required new signals. The painted female mouth became the mirror image of the woman as an attraction tool! ...
It's the same tricks that nature also uses: in order to charm a partner, a species of finches in Australia and New Guinea resort to the use of feathers and colours.
Where the male bird uses parts of tree leaves, to decorate the love nest with it in an almost human way: he usually paints the walls with chewed grass, wood charcoal or berry content after he mixes them with his beak with saliva in a way that creates a dark gray color, blue or green, ready for painting. .. This is what the American naturalist Lincoln Barrett said after observing the behavior of these birds for a long period of time!

The bird or sparrow that resorts to - the brush to decorate nature according to his own perceptions.
It can be considered among the many wonders that show the role that color plays in the life of animals and plants
And Charles Darwin, who set foot in 1832 in the jungles of Brazil. He realized this as the first person in this field, and with amazement Darwin watched how the largest butterfly in the world, whose wings are as long as
Thirty-two centimeters and is known as the owl butterfly while it is settling on a tree
With its (striped) color, it looks like it is part of those branches. The largest locust, known as the Walking Stick, is a locust with a long, round, stick-like body that imitates a dry branch in its external appearance, while the locust locust, which resembles a dry brown leaf, does not recognize its victim except when it is applied to it with its catching legs. .

Charles Darwin adds:
- And where the starving enemy is always, the insects that can reach the age of reproduction are the only ones that can adapt color to their surroundings. This theory has been called (natural choice), and it means that the most adaptable is the one who survives.
The ability, or rather the trick, to use color as a camouflage tool has made insects the most biologically successful organisms on our planet. Today, says Ernst Mayr, a professor at Harvard University in the United States, who is of German origin and from the city of Berlin in particular, there are approximately three million different species of insects on the surface of the earth.
But camouflage through colors does not only play a decisive role in the population explosion of insects, it is the colors that also secure the spread of plants.
And when it was formed, one hundred and fifty million years ago. Flowering trees, at the same time, stopped the process of transporting dust, pollen, through the wind.. Instead, they attracted insects so that they would transfer the dust from one flower to the other flower. As an alternative to this transportation service, the flowers rewarded the insects with their sweet nectar.
But how could the plants use the new flying method to transfer their pollen dust to the same type of flowers with certainty, without falling into the fallacies of the wind, which was transporting the pollen dust to the flowers in a haphazard manner?

Here, the role of colors emerges, as the stability completed their external appearance in a way that made it possible to clearly differentiate them from the neighboring species.
From a great distance, the wonderful colors of the flowers given to them by nature attract bees, and so that the insects do not stray from the entrance to the flower cup, a special position in the flower serves as an additional visual attraction. The male nectar is either of a different color than the rest of the flower’s organs, or it is distinguished by intense color imbibition. These are signals that have an effect, and the bees cannot resist it.
Professor Andreas Bertsch, Professor of Botany in Marburg, Germany, says:
- The color is not in itself a dye for the flower, but rather its advantage is the opposite of the sun's rays. Bees and other insects receive the green color as gray, and they do not see the red color, but they see the ultraviolet radiation that is invisible to humans.
The dark red color seems black to insects, with the exception of only daytime butterflies, which hover for that reason around the stone and the red light. A poppy in a field of wheat is seen by the human eye as bright red, while to insects it is ultraviolet, the reason being that this flower reflects both red and ultraviolet at the same time.
