I suppose it was dubbed, "The Renfield Project"?

Interesting. This is similar to an idea from a 1974 sci-fi story by Isaac Asimov called "That Thou Art Mindful of Him." One of the robots in the story is a small robotic bird whose only function is to catch a certain species of fly and dispose of them. But the ending throws the reader for a loop.

Here's some info on the story: That Thou Art Mindful of Him

I, for one, welcome our new fly-killing, Robot Overlords.

OK. It "digests" the flies for power. There is another product of digestion: waste. Do we really want a robot that poops?

I can see it now. Three doors along a hallway: "Men's Room", "Women's Room", "Robot's Room". C3P0 walks out of the "Robot's Room" and declares ala Ace Ventura: "DO NOT GO IN THERE! PHEWWWW!!!"

NOW there is the germ of thought for a mosquito eating machine... The thought of a machine eating mosquitos in the back yard all night run by the energy generated by the mosquitos themselves is too much to expect.. and if it Purr'ed too like cat so much the better.. The mosquitos have been living off us for way too long..

What was the name of the first guy Dracula (Bella Lagosi) ensnares to assist him in the original Dracula movie? All I can come up with is "Renfrew" I'm pretty sure that's wrong. (For the younger set, this guy eats insects throughout the movie)
