A lot of people think insects are interesting and fantastic animals. Especially, some beetle with colorful appearance. There are specific museums for those insects lovers, called insects theme museum.

How did we manufacture those animatronic insects?

The animatronic insects are made by the same raw material as other animatronics. We build its skeleton with steel frame, the electric motor inside will provide power for its mechanical system, so it would be dynamic.

The muscle of those giant insect models is high strength sponges.
