Hexbug Nano

Unless you fancy humiliating yourself on I’m a Celeb* it’s not that easy finding compliant bugs to play with. More to the point, real bugs are ‘orrible. So wouldn’t it be cool, not to mention bizarre, if some geeky loon introduced a range of battery-operated robotic creepy crawlies for your viewing pleasure? They have, and they’re called Nano Hexbugs.

Impossibly titchy, these autonomous microbots scuttle across floors and desks in a hypnotically random fashion, just like real bugs. Simply turn ‘em on and watch in rapt fascination. They even flip over and change direction when they hit obstacles. Clever, eh!

There are five different coloured specimens to collect, and you can even buy the luxe Habitat Set, a maze of interconnecting runs, corridors and cells in which to infuriate the two included bugs. Of course for the full Hexbug experience you’ll need to buy a proper infestation of the little blighters, so get ordering before they scurry out of stock. Eek! What’s that on your arm?
