World’s Fastest Cockroach Robot Was Designed To Save Lives

Bling From Bugs: Caddisflies Are Natural Designers
Wads of jewels are not my thing. But bugs? When it comes to bugs, I’m all over them. And now they can be all over me - not the bugs themselves, but the jewelry that they've designed.

The World’s 8 Biggest Baddest Fugliest Bugs
Somebody on Twitter sent me a tweet today that read, "You're so weird, but I like it." I didn't quite know how to take that, so I chose to take it as a compliment.

Insect Sushi: Sushi Suddenly Lost Its Mojo!
I must say that I enjoy eating Sushi quite a lot. For lunch, it's one of the most refreshing foods I can think of. It brings my brain back into the shape needed to battle those custom designs and all the work that goes in bringing new awesomeness to Bit Rebels. However, I am one of those that get ...
Mosquitoes Crash Into Billboards and Create Artwork!
I live in Atlanta, Georgia and wow... the mosquitoes here are legendary. Often called Tiger mosquitoes because they are so huge, they attack with no mercy. Last night, I was outside throwing the football with @toad_mario, and in the first five minutes, I had at least ten bites.
Perhaps that is ...
Virtual Bugs That Crawl On You – Gross or Cool?
Imagine this, you reach down into the sand to touch a large, interesting looking bug. To your surprise, it quickly runs up your hand and onto your arm. Then it starts following all of your movements.
