And boy, do I mean creepy. From DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency):

The HI-MEMS program is aimed at developing tightly coupled machine-insect interfaces by placing micro-mechanical systems inside the insects during the early stages of metamorphosis.

I guess if you can’t build ‘em, grow ‘em. As far as the Rotor can tell, this is real and not some David Cronenberg dystopian sci-fi nightmare. No pictures, which is probably a Good Thing.

Yeek.
