Cockroaches with jet packs.

[Kai]

Title says it all. Some researchers wanted to test the stride reaction time of an insect to find out just how stable having six legs in tripodal alternation really is. So they strapped some jet packs to roaches and fired them off in front of a high speed camera, and the roaches barely broke stride.

Also, another jetroach video.

Thank you Kai for sharing more reasons why science is awesome.

I'm trying to think of ways we could get them in sustained flight. Rocketroaches.

I see they've had some success with Jet Snails.

That's not a jetpack, it's a cannon. This is mad science, obvoiusly hell bent on taking over the world using an army of armed insects

A Snail isn't an insect, it's a kind of snot Lobster. Without the legs.

Closer to an octopus or clam, I think.

Snails are shell bearing gastropod mollusks. Insects are Arthropods. The former are Lophotrochozoans, and the latter are Ecdyzoans. In other words, Insects are more closely related to nematode worms than they are to mollusks. There's a 500+ million year separation between those two groups.

Ah, I may have been thinking of Tortoises.

Tortoises are closer to fungi, bro. Didn't you play Mario Brothers?

I remember watching a thing on one a those sciencey channels once where it said that animals come in three kinds: octopusses, insects, and us folk. Octopusses are basically the geniuses of their folk, and all the insects' family is basically reatarded, I think.

That is mistaken. There are at least six major groups of animals (Metazoa): The parazoa, which includes sponges; Radiata, including jellies, hydra, comb jellies, etc; Deuterostomia, including vertebrates; Ecdyzoa, which all molt their cuticle, including nematodes and arthropods; Lophotrochozoa, including mollusks and annelid worms; and Platyzoa, which includes platyheminth flatworms and rotifers, among others.
