Don't worry. There is no such thing as an insect sized flying drone.

Insect-like drone, able to find a target inside a house, and sting him with a lethal neurotoxin. Anything you want.

“Bed bugs” takes on a whole new meaning. We’ll need to get federal clearance before fumigating our homes.

The device floated through the air, using a tiny Holtzman Field Generator to maneuver. The tip held a camera that transmitted a video signal back to the operator. Vision was distorted by the compressed suspensor field. Once detected, the target was almost guaranteed to be killed.

How powered? Tiny battery.
Remember, real bugs can fly for a relatively long time without “refueling”. Doesn’t take much energy to run something that size, especially if price is no concern.

None of this is secret.
And if I knew anything about any real secret stuff, it fell overboard when I was fishing.
