Developer mhmazur shipped a playful webpage called Bugs: an overhead view of 100 real insect species (5,000 individuals) wandering your screen.
Highlights:
- Zoom in/out, click any bug to learn about its species, tap the ground to scatter them.
- A 'skeleton view' renders bugs as wireframe creatures, inspired by @rybinfx's procedural creature rigs.
- Filter by type, tweak count and speed, enable true-size mode and fullscreen.
- The author says Claude Opus 5.5 also produced a 30-second narrated nature documentary about the project that 'blew my mind.'
