Are they constructing

zip-lines as a means of transporta

We are still investigating this ama

zing discovery!

We’ve decided to call these strange devices “backpacks”.

The “backpack” allows the Nano to attach itself

to the zip-line.

A zip-line (also known as a flying fox, foefie slide, zip wire, aerial runway, aerial ropeslide, death slide or tyrolean crossing) consists of a pulley suspended on a cable mounted on an incline.It is designed to enable a user propelled by gravity to travel from the top to the bottom of the inclined cable, usually made of stainless steel, by holding on or attaching to the freely moving pulley. Zip-lines come in many forms, most often used as a means of entertainment.

HistoryThe zip-wire is not a recent invention. It has been used as a transportation method in some mountainous countries. In some remote areas in China, zip lines serve the purposes of bridges across rivers. Referred to as “an inclined strong”, one appears in The Invisible Man by H.G Wells, published in 1897, as part of a Whit-Monday fair.

The Nanos seem to be drawn to the spiral.Are they simply attracted to thebright orange color? Do they prefer thespiral over the track? Does this show some sign of INTELLIGENCE??

We were excited to witness several Nanos congregating in a single cell together. Could they be communicating?

In real creatures, Bioluminescence is

a form of luminescence, or “cold light”

emission; less than 20% of the light

generates thermal radiation.

HEXBUG Larva

HEXBUG SpiderMore clips found attached to

Nanos.

Is it camouflage?Are they hiding from somethi

ng?


In nature the caterpillar is the larvae

(the baby) of both a butterfly and a moth.

After around 2-3 weeks, the caterpillar

builds itself into a cocoon where it remains

a pupa for a further 2 weeks. The caterpillar

then emerges having grown wings.

NATURE FACTIn nature there are many spiders

that don’t produce webs! Six-

spotted Fishing Spiders are often

seen with legs on the water to sense

vibrations from potential prey.

Researchers have spotted other creaturesthat resemble some sort of grub worm.We decided to simply identify this species as “larva”.

Arachnids are a class (Arachnida) of joint-legged invertebrate animals in the subphylum Chelicerata.

Clips attach to Nanos.

Are they disquises or decorations?

A bug that races around, changing direction if it touches something in it’s path has been identified as the HEXBUG Ant.

INCHWORMa caterpillar of a geometrid moth, which moves forward by arching and straightening its body. Also called looper, measuring worm, or spanworm .

ANTS smell and feel with their

antennae. An ant’s sense of smell

rivals that of a dog.

HEXBUG Inchworm

HEXBUG Ant

HEXBUG Original

HEXBUG Crab

If it senses something in it's path it will back up and change direction.Is this a self defense mechanism? Loud noises startled the bug andmade it run the other way! Does it have organs sensitive to sound??

One of our interns stumbled upon this Crab-like creature while on vacation on South Padre Island!As of today, we have found five different colors of this species.

On sunny days, crabs must find shade or dehydrate and risk perishing!

Found this creature in five amazing colors. Walks and spins at your command.

INCHWORMS

have a voracious appetite and spend their

entire life feeding. Although the majority

are herbivorous, there is a species that is

carnivorous. Carnivorous inchworms

are indigenous to Hawaii.

The Ants have been discovered in five brilliant hues. We wonder if there are any more are out there.

FACTIf you could run as fast for your size as an ant can, you could run as fast as a racehorse.
