[Dprglist] Researchers Let Goldfish Drive a Motorized Tank on Wheels. Watch What Happens

[Murray Altheim]

Here in New Zealand we have a problem with our crickets: to paraphrase
Martin Brody, "you're going to need a bigger car:"

   Wētā

and even:

   Giant wētā
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_w%C4%93t%C4%81

Not pretty things.

I know where I want them to go, but the bigger question is where do bugs
themselves want to go? I guess this gives us a way to find out, but I
submit that some kind of burrowing robotic machine would be preferred,
not a terrestrial car. A cockroach-driven car might drive to McDonalds.

     In the evening
     The rice leaves in the garden
     Rustle in the autumn wind
     That blows through my reed hut.
