Cyber moth

North Carolina state university have developed a "cyber moth" they can control the moth by a sort of remote control.  They say (and I quote)  that they plan to use the moths in search and rescue applications.
Personally I see a few snags in the plan, moths don't normally carry a lot of weight, and secondly even if they manage to rescue anybody won't they eat the persons clothes first?
But by far the biggest flaw in the plan is many search and rescue operations involve a fire of some sort (plane crashes /earthquake etc)  once the moths sees the flames they've had it, the entire search and rescue team will be flying around and around the fire......   Time for a rethink guys, and pick something a bit bigger next time....Butterflies maybe?????
