Description:
How created:	Designed I first build the physical structure. Then i added the four bending muscles and a neuron to control them alltogether. (you can see it when taking a look at the NN). After that i made the first smell receptor. The next problem i had to face that, the creature should go back in it's beginning position after attacking. This was possible by changing some neural weights and adding a constant (*) impulse to the control neuron. Then i often tried how it attacks when i place food. It also attacked, when food was at the left, right, or back. That for i needed a second smell receptor. Somehow i managed it, that the Sting now only attacks when the food is in front of it.
Performance notes:	Attacks passing creatures by hiting them with it's sting. Can attack several times. This creature was awarded.
