Default Are you ready for this?

I just watched a small clip on the morning business news ...
It showed a company that is developing a computer guided laser gun that shoots down mosquitoes, literally by the hundreds @ a time. CEO said they are looking at the world market of malaria carrying mosquitoes, but are working on agricultural use to protect fields from invasive insects.
One great thing is that it uses wing beats and size to identify prior to killing, so it won't hurt beneficial insects in the field.
A word of caution ... don't flap your arms like a mosquito around these experimental fields... LOL!
