From Gizmodo, via Tornus:

"Berkeley University scientists demoed a remote-control Rhinoceros beetle at a conference this week, repeatedly flying the cyborgian creature into observers' faces while screaming "WE ARE GODS! WE HUNGER FOR BLOOD SACRIFICE!"

No. Really.

Well the first part is really.

Seems like an awful lot of hardware and expense for a surveillance tool that can be easily destroyed by a fly swatter or a shoe.

Oh FINE Mrs Smarty-pants kill joy!

Just wait until you see how much the Department of Defense pays for their fly swatters!
