Using insects for detective work is not new:

In Edgar Alan Poe’s tale of the hunt for a pirate’s treasure, The Gold Bug, an insect is used to ﬁnd the buried loot. As per the directions on a coded map, the gold beetle, tied to the end of a string and passed through the left eye of a skull nailed high in a tall tree, indicates the spot of a landmark from which the location of the treasure can be deciphered.
