🇦🇺 If you’re buried, you won’t care what crawls in first... Australian researchers strapped cameras and remote syringes to Queensland’s giant burrowing cockroaches (the heaviest on Earth) and taught them to reach a body robots can’t.
One roach finds you, another lines up, and a human still pulls the trigger.
In tests they hit from 15 cm almost every time, and the full crawl-and-shot worked in most of them.
They call them paraborgs: Ugly name, uglier insect.
