How many of you are scared of the creepy crawlies, the lifeforms that have too many legs for their own good? We’re sure that some of you may have an entomologist gene in you, or will deny being irked by bugs, but what if they suddenly turned mechanical?

Actually, they will look really, really cool!

Here are just 25 of some amazingly sophisticated designs of bugs. Nothing can beat millions of years of nature’s work of course but darn it, some of these designs look like they came out of a science fiction movie, or should be part of one!
