- University of Washington scientists have designed a wireless camera that can fit on the back of a beetle.
- Researcher Vikram Iyer told Business Insider it's an important step forward for developing wireless camera technology, because although cameras on smartphones are also small, they are connected to bigger processors and batteries.
- Next the team is looking at attaching the cameras to moths and spiders.

Scientists at the University of Washington have successfully created a wireless camera so miniature it can be carried on a beetle's back.
The scientists published their research on July 15 in Science Robotics, as first reported by Engadget. Their camera weighs just 248 milligrams and can rotate 60 degrees while streaming black-and-white video back to a smartphone from a beetle's back using Bluetooth from a distance of up to 120 meters. The team have been working on the research since fall 2018 Vikram Iyer, one of the authors on the paper, told Business Insider.
