He teamed with Westneat to put living insects in the machine. They were bombarded with mega doses of radiation, so experiments with more advanced animals aren't likely.

It kills bugs and it advances science! Truly a miraculous device.

Ok. So how large can a bug get? I think there were some fossils from hundreds of millions of years ago that seem to indicate a spider with a span of 7 feet between the tips of the front and back legs. I think it was an undersea spider (crab-like).

Isn't it true that when you spray bug repellant on an insect, it's oily nature suffocates them?

Instead of developing cures for cancer, we're spending countless hours of laboreous research on how bugs breathe. Nonetheless, an interesting read.
