I plan on releasing regular videos of electronics and insects on my YouTube channel. I hope you will subscribe and like the videos I post. Let me know if you have any interests or topics you would like me to explore. Thank you for your support!
Gorgeous
Love it when this happens.
Here is the completed demonstration of the animatronic monarch butterfly I built. I hope you enjoy!
I'm almost finished building this animatronic monarch butterfly. I'll be releasing video of the bug in action soon.
Incredible Insects 3D printed on the Form 1+ 3D Printer
We were blown away when we first saw the incredibly life-like insects by Austrian artist and model-maker Klaus Leitl posted on our forums. His insect models—printed on the Form 1+ SLA 3D Printer—are scaled some 30 times, with some measuring up to 53 inches (135cm) long, and comprised of up to 22 printed parts.
In the following interview, he shares his techniques on achieving his beautiful, showcase-quality prints on the Form 1+.

Wow, so beautiful. I hope these travel, or more are made. Now there is no excuse for inaccurate insect toys.
Ant head with servo motors.
After a recent volunteer gig with the Jasper Ridge Ant Survey crew, I felt inspired to make an ant head. I paid special attention to including the palps, ocelli, elbowed antenna, and relative geometry.
The circuit uses a PWM controller for one servo which is reversed by using a quad nor logic gate.
Binocular robot head! I hope you enjoy this tutorial video I shot.
I am going to post an instructable to accompany this video soon. I love sharing how to make these things, because I have learned almost everything from the web! I think a project like this could inspire a 3D FPV system for RC projects, which could help boost the amount of 3D content out there.
Just finished building this binocular robot head. I am creating an instructable and video to show readers the entire process and inspire anyone to make their own.
Well, I’m super jealous of these guys! I wish I could have made more progress before you could just buy them mass produced!

This is such a cool piece!
Velvet plush moth. Wingspan ~ 10 inches. Sewn together by hand using fake fur, yarn, and feathers.
Hyper-Compensated Surrealist Fly Tying
It’s not too easy to follow but his bugs sure look neat! Anthony Muracciole, winner of several international fly tying competitions and Corsican by nature, is always searching through waterways for new models, each more ‘compensated’ than the next ! Bravo Anthony, we’ll be keeping an eye on your new creation!

Love it! Got to reblog this to keep track of the very few people capable of this detailed work!
The engineer thought, "This is the third dead drone this week!" #hoscale
New series of butterflies. One belongs to my friend @cassaspell . These are the #swallowtail #butterfly each made by hand using #flytying.
First build with the new #littlebits kit. Thank you #instructables for sending me this awesome prize. It may not be the best #hexapod out there, but it's crawling! #entomoid #organicelectrics #robot
Just finished a #monarch #butterfly totally handmade and about as heavy as the real thing! I am hoping to make a bunch of these before the holidays are over so please contact me if you are interested in owning one. Available as a brooch too! #flytying #entomology #sculpture #insect
Here is an article I wrote for Innorobo, an event supported by Innoecho, a robotics innovation company. The article focuses on using insects as a model for building robots.
I met the CEO of Innoecho at a robotics conference a month ago. We shared an enthusiasm for Biomimicry and a passion for developing the ecosystem of technology.
The research I have been doing over the past few years has focused on the physiology of insects and electronic theory. I am combining these subjects with arts and crafts to create robotic insects which move and behave in lifelike ways. The use of flexible materials and being inspired by the real architecture of insects helps take the robots to an exciting place without the need for complex circuitry.
As described in the linked article, many researchers are also inspired by insects. These creatures are able to execute complex behaviors and tasks with very few discreet neurons. This is due to a fundamental difference between computer controlled robots and insects. Insects have sensory organs which trigger a cascade of behavior patterns. Computer controlled robots must use sensors to collect data, process the data, make a decision, then start the process of executing a behavior.
The paradigm shift that we'll have to accept is to allow the environment of a robot to control the robot. This is a difficult step for humans especially because we're building robots to work for us. In fact, the etymology of robot is a Czech word for slave. To give up control is to make a robot free, and how is that going to make investors money?
Product design and business models aren't my goal. I am seeking to combine craft techniques and art materials to make an open source, autonomous robot that is accessible for humans to build and live with globally.
