ABSTRACT:
A walking insect that comprises a torso having a set of legs and wings attached thereto. Disposed within the torso is a battery and a rotating electric motor operative to vibrate the torso. The electric motor is attached to a counterbalance and tail cone such that when the counterbalance and tail cone are rotated, the insect vibrates thereby causing the legs to move and the insect to walk. The counterbalance is adjustable in order to amplify the vibration of the insect. The insect may be sold in kit form for assembly by children as an educational toy.
