HexBugs are back and they brought a new friend- the Scarab. The Scarab is a six-legged, battery operated bug which has bug like behavior patterns and can flip itself over when upside down. Little Man thoroughly enjoys this one. It moves at a very quick pace, much quicker then the other HexBugs we have seen. Although it doesn’t seem as complex as the larva, the Scarab is still quite interesting and a very smart robot.
It will skitter and run around, and when met with an obstacle it moves with such speed it actually bounces about and find a different route. Like most HexBugs, it is well built and fun to just watch jet around. Also, it interacts with other HexBugs in interesting ways. I am partial to the larva, so it is always interesting to see the larva ‘play’ with new HexBugs.
You can follow HexBugs on Twitter. They are $14.99 and can be purchased HERE.

HEXBUG Chrome Tri-Pack – Spider, Inchworm and Ant would be great for my son!
And my favorite, besides those mentioned, would probably be the spider.
Really would love to win one of these. I’ve been reading about ways to modify the bugs to make them programmable.
I like the nano that glows in the dark. Rita Spratlen rjspratlen@gmail.com
As for myself, I like the inchworm. My son, the expert, however, agrees with you about the Scarab being the ultimate HexBug!
My son likes the glow in the dark habitat for the Hex bugs he has
Our Scarab terrorizes the dog so it may be small but mighty. I love this company.
I’ve never heard of this toy. Is it electronic?
Lol..how fun! I’ve not seen these before. I’m sure my son would like them too.
that looks like a lot of fun
We have a hexbug nano set and they are a lot of fun. 🙂
