The study of Biomimicry (or Biomimetics) looks at elements and systems of nature and attempts to replicate them to solve complex human problems. This is applied in fields from materials science to architecture. Some examples of biomimicry include: How the tiny hooks on bur fruits inspired Velcro. Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine inspired by the structure of bat wings. Shark skin is being studied to (continued)

The hardy ice plant (Delosperma cooperi) possesses microscopic parabolic surface grooves on its petals that manipulate light to produce a striking, pigment-free glossy appearance. This structural optic phenomenon allows the plant to scatter and directionally reflect light across a broad range of viewing angles.

@FediThing It's quite fascinating. Looking at what bats did a hundred thousand years ago would've jumped radar stuff forward by decades. They might still have a few tricks we don't. Same with the insects!
