Actually become a Fly on the Wall

Hi, Mems!A microsystem-controlled insect (HI-MEMS, Hybrid Insect Micro-Electrico-Mechanical Systems) has a circuit board protruding from the top of its midsection. Probes are inserted into the dorsoventral and dorsolongitudinal flight muscles.A driving voltage of 5 volts causes the muscles (two pairs) to move for flight and maneuvering.
