The sick-ular MSM are talking about a plant that mimics a moth infestation to repel actual moths.

Now how was this thing supposed to have evolved? The stock evil-utionist answer is that a caladium mutated to have the white markings, which provided an evil-utionary advantage. However, creationist information theory teaches us that mutations never add information, but instead only cause a loss of information. Thus, any mutation would have caused the plant's markings to be less elaborate, not more.
Creationism, on the other hand, explains the plant perfectly. When God created plants, He knew that later in the week, He would create moths that would parasitize the plants. Therefore, in His infinite goodness, He provided a way for the plant to protect itself. No, God was not working at cross purposes with Himself; everything that He created had a purpose.

Why do the variegated leaves of the Ecuadorean rain forest plant Caladium steudneriifolium mimic the appearance of solid-colored caladium leaves infested with parasitic moth larvae? Defense, say researchers in Germany. Moths mistake variegated leaves for already-infested ones and avoid laying eggs there. For the variegated plant, the trade-off may be less energy: white streaks reduce photosynthesis.
