The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency or Darpa has been know to toy with the imagination and attempt to make the next leaping bounds in converting science fiction into science reality. Cyborgs which are half living organism and half machine, as so wonderfully displayed in films such as RoboCop, are an advanced step in robotics. Darpa isn't looking to outdo the next James Bond villain with a bigger laser ray machine, instead they are going low cost and messing with bugs.
What the scientist are doing is implanting tiny computer chips into the moths while they are still a pupa, in the cocoon. This will grow the creatures flesh around the chip and give control over the nervous system. The new Cyber Moth will be remote controlled into enemy camps and beam back video and other information viable to troops. Sound silly? Sounds more logical if you are thinking like the scientist working on these development. The same scientist that have documented to have already made it possible to remote control rats and cockroaches.
