I have forgotten where I had seen this but the Pentagon has been very
interested
in ongoing research of the method of insect flight. A recent university has
been successful
in building the first robot that flies like a fly. It was thought to be
very promising for the war
on terror to have a Spy Fly into the den of the terrorists branding a
miniature camera sending
back video's to Pentagon voyeurs :-)
