(yet kind of cool)

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is able to embed a camera into the larval stage of certain insects and then use them to spy later on. They are calling these insect “cyborgs”, but I think they ought to be “cybugs”.

Researchers working for the US military believe they could eventually be used in hostage situations or sent to enemy barracks.

They are hoping to engineer insects that could fly up to 300 feet away and then stay in a particular place until they are commanded to leave again.

Yes. They would only be used for good, and they don’t mind at all. See how well they “stay” when asked!
