Weaponizing Cyborg Insects

The future will be covered in spy insects that can monitor, kill, and cure all in as fast as it takes to buzz across the room. Or at least that is what the Pentagon would have you think. According to a great post by Intelligence Daily,
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 U.S. 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 U.S. military bases.
Sounds scary? You might as well get used to it because it is only going to get weirder from here.
