The HI-MEMS (Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) program instituted by DARPA is beginning to bear fruit. The University of Michigan team has successfully created a cyborg unicorn beetle microsystem.
The embedded probe has four electrodes. One is implanted in the control region of the brain, with two others being placed in the right and left muscles that move the wings. The cyborg beetle is able to take off and land, turn left or right and demonstrate a number of other flight control behaviors.

Repentance will be sought by the Cockroach King.
What's alarming is that this is the research they've got advertised on their website, imagine the kind of shit that's going on they don't want to promulgate.

I, for one, welcome our new cyborg insect overlords which are sure to evolve from this...madness.
