All things great and small

Tomopteris is a bioluminescent plankton-like worm that lives in the ocean. It is a beautiful looking creature, and possibly one of the oldest multi-cellular animals on the planet. Worms that looked a lot like are known from the Ediacaran period, nearly six hundred million years ago!
 
I am always in awe and wonder to think that so very, very long before we even came around, God was working such wonders in the world.
