A nice little bit of fun. Now if only you could make them eat each other. :D

It is a shame that they don't move 'properly' - All the legs on each side move together, creating a totally unstable gait. Real insects tend to use their 6 legs as two tripods, meaning that they are always stable. Millipedes and other many legged creatures send waves along their legs.

It is an interesting subject...

Read about Insect Locomotion.
