G'day guys,

Came across this in my weekly reading and thought it might interest some
here.
 
A future generation of anti-aircraft missiles could be made far harder
to
dodge by a guidance system inspired by the flight of dragonflies and
hoverflies. The missiles will mimic a strategy called motion camouflage,
which predatory insects use to trick prey into thinking they are
stationary.
