Could a cockroach carry both the cockroach control device and the camera? Does the micro camera have enough low light capabilities to be useful in the dark? Are there any animal ethics to be taken into consideration for attempting this route?

I can’t tell if that idea is 2 years or 20 years in the future, but it sounds neat.

You'd probably be better off using a microphone if we are taking about search in low light conditions. Or maybe a CO2 sensor, if you can miniaturize it enough.

But I'm not so sure it's that much better than dogs for search and rescue. Much more promising for surveillance.

Animal ethics? Lol. It's an insect! What's next? You need permission to bleach your kitchen floor because you killing bacteria?

Surely ethics is considered in any good study even if it is just insects.
