Jump scares are fun, but how about a jump scare that is fully automated? Even better! This one uses the HalloWing with a PIR motion sensor, servo motor, and speaker to detect victims and drop a creepy rubber bug right in front of them as it hisses terrifyingly!

You can plug these parts right into your HalloWing, code it in CircuitPython, and get to scaring people in no time.
