Harvard University is proud to announce their first robot insect! This insect is similar in both weight and size to a hornet and can land on branches, window panes, and light fixtures, and do all the things that real hornets can do.

Is anyone ELSE wondering why? I mean, is it not bad enough that we have to contend with the real thing, now we've got robotic insects flying around?

Military intelligence is one possible practical application. However, I really don't see a need for private use of these critters. And again, if these are being developed for military spying, is it really wise to be publishing reports like this? Just a thought.
