Bugs are robotic probes used by the Machines to track a bluepill's location in the Matrix. They are placed onto a human subject's skin, where they will burrow underneath and take shelter inside the subject's body.
While activated they appear to be a small dark gray steel shrimp-like robot with wiry tentacles and a single red eye. However, once deactivated the squirming probe will appear to be back in a motionless steel probe and the red eye turns off.
Bugs can be removed from the host's body using an extraction device. The process is difficult and requires a fair amount of skill. When detected, the bug can simply move to a different position.

It is later removed by Trinity and Switch.
