The toy contains small vibrating motor which causes the bug to move forward very rapidly due to the design of its legs. But because it is using the vibrating motor it has an inherent randomness that creates the illusion of some intelligence (or natural stupidity). When it turns on it does act just like a real bug.
The reason this design is so great is because its is so inherently simple. The Nano is essentially just a motor with legs. But a person can watch them interact with their surroundings and with other Nanos and you think they are actually alive. But the wonder is that these little creatures are only on toy shelves and not someplace like a pet store.
