This Bug Cat Cannot Fly

Adowable! According to commenter Cchrist:

Here's my entry for the contest. I made it out of organs, fur, a kitten strap and some butterfly wings!
It even moves on it's own and doesn't even use electricity OR batteries.
The only thing i haven't figured out yet is making it fly...

Yes, our cold bitter heart just melted. In case you didn't know: We're giving away a copy of Insecticide (DS or PC, the winner decides). Here's the contest, it's a fun one: Make an insect. Like a 3D, real world one.

That's it.

You can use anything to make it EXCEPT CG. So yeah, if you want to make a bug outta newspapers, sticks, clay, whatever, DO IT. Send entries to kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom with the subject line "Insect." The contest ends March 7th. The winner's fame is ENDLESS.

I bet every Kotaku contest after this one will include a "no kittens" term.
Totally unfair.

All it takes to win is a pet... cause pets look freakin' adorable in almost any contest you put them in.

Wow. Never thought i'd actually see a bug capable of making me feel ill.

Could you imagine getting the splatter off the windscreen of your car?! Assuming you still had one after running into that behemoth fur ball.

I think this should get special mention, but not win. It IS awesome, however.

But... next you'll have someone putting bug wings on their baby. I'm calling it now.

I think the only way someone could compete with that is by using a puppy.

Oh, and laser beams will steal the win.

@ Cchrist- lol, that was the wrong answer, dude. Nice try though. :-p

Yup- I'm going to have to rethink my entry now. Not nearly cute enough. I was of the mind that bugs should look creepy, not so adorable.
Contest over- Congrats on the win! ;-)
