Built by the state-owned National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) in Hunan Province, the tech features leaf-shaped wings and three hair-thin legs, a design aimed at mimicking the flight and appearance of real insects.

It is equipped with ultra-small cameras and microphones to capture images, sound, or electronic signals, making it ideal for covert reconnaissance missions.
