waging war on moths
2008-07-26 21:04:00 Saturday 26: (Written in bed at 01:10am) I don?t like to kill any living being but sometimes needs must. Like past midnight, when an invasion of Amazonion-sized moths took over my bedroom. Swooping and divebombing my pillow, I actually felt threatened. Initially, I thought there was only one and that a swift swat had sent ...

They engulf natural fibres, including wool and silk. How to kill them? One method is to wash all your clothes at the highest advised temperature. Put any “dry-clean only” items ...

2008-03-20 16:58:00 One of the boffins at Georgia Tech has found something easier then building a robot with spy gear built in. He has taken the path less traveled by implanting the devices directly into a living bug. (Gentlemen, we can rebuild him…) The idea is to make longer-living SpyBot insects by implanting sensors that can detect ...

There's more than one way to kill a mothI am talking not about a baby, but something much more high-maintenance: a designer sweater.

Infestation Of The Moths.
2007-10-04 17:38:00 Infestation Of The Moths.These photos were taken during the summer of 2005 in Flogsta/Hamberg, a district in Uppsala, about 60 km north of Stockholm, Sweden. This is the infestation of a moth called Bird-cherry Ermine.The caterpillars eat leaves from bird cherry. They also spin this white silk-like substance around trees, and after a while they turn into pupas in large clusters like in some of the photos. Eventually they become small white moths. The caterpillars don't smell. But when you stand under a tree and listened carefully, you could perceive the tiny sounds of a million larvae eating and moving. I have no idea why they like bikes so much. Does the structure remind them of a tree with thin branches? I don't know. Since some caterpillars did turn into pupas on bicycles and other places where there is nothing to eat, I suppose they must have eaten first and then left the tree to do the transformation. By the way, most people living in the area are students. Many of them visi...

Cyborg Moths Against Terrorism
2007-05-24 18:10:00 Another crazy story.Scientists are growing flesh around computer parts to create cyborg moths, which can be controlled remotely!Inside it will be a computer chip that was implanted when the creature was still a pupa, in the cocoon, meaning that the moth?s entire nervous system can be controlled remotely.The moth will thus be capable of landing in the camp without arousing suspicion, all the while beaming video and other information back to its masters via what its developers refer to as a ?reliable tissue-machine interface.? The creation of insects whose flesh grows around computer parts ? known from science fiction as ?cyborgs? ? has been described as one of the most ambitious robotics projects ever conceived by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa), the research and development arm of the US Department of Defense.
