Weird Insect Cocoon

Featured Replies

Biological weapons delivered by cyborg insects. It sounds like a nightmare scenario straight out of the wilder realms of science fiction, but it could be a reality if a current Pentagon project comes to fruition.

Right now, researchers are already growing insects with electronics inside them. They're creating cyborg moths and flying beetles that can be remotely controlled. One day, the US military may field squadrons of winged insect/machine hybrids with on-board audio, video or chemical sensors. These cyborg insects could conduct surveillance and reconnaissance missions on distant battlefields, in far-off caves, or maybe even in cities closer

to home, and transmit detailed data back to their handlers at US military bases.

Today, many people fear US government surveillance of email and cell phone communications. With this program, the Pentagon aims to exponentially increase the paranoia. Imagine a world in which any insect fluttering past your window may be a remote-controlled spy, packed with surveillance equipment. Even more frightening is the prospect that such creatures could be weaponized, and the possibility, according to one scientist intimately familiar with the project, that these cyborg insects might be armed with "bio weapons". :o

I've got dozens on my walls (yes, they do stick like superglue--I have to knock them off with the handle-end of my broom).

Mine match every description but the color. Mine are dark brown to black. My Thai friends tell me it is indeed a cocoon of a harmless insect. Never seen the insect itself. And never seen a cocoon crawl, yet.

I always thought that was Gecko Dung :o . I find it all over the place. Actually my baby finds them,

and loves to eat them with the morning bottle. Shaken, not Stirred.

There's been several, more recent, threads about casebearer moths.

No point in digging up this old one.
