I don't think I do the best job communicating just how incredible a very tiny robot with a camera could be for insect research. It would be almost equivalent to having a shrink ray gun and you could learn about insect behavior by interacting with them more directly.
You could effectively visit their world. And probably get sprayed with formic acid and carried to the trash pile... but STILL.
@futurebird@ryanjyoder@justafrog When you say "probably," I have to speak up in defense of the ants. Ants have never committed crimes against humans. Humans have done everything they could to destroy entire COLONIES of ants. Attempted genocide would definitely be on the table!
