That insect buzzing on your window isn't looking for food. It's a living drone, surgically fused with military hardware. Scientists implant silicon microchips directly into living caterpillar pupae. As they metamorphose, muscle tissue grows around the metal, fusing flesh and machine. Wireless neural pulses hijack their brains, steering the living cyborgs through the air. Crush that bug, and you might just destroy a million-dollar piece of classified government biotech.
