Bugsmovie is a Larger than Life cellular automata devised by David Griffeath. Providing various bugs (spaceships) and blinkers (oscillators), its dynamics are reminiscent of Bosco's rule.

Patterns

Still lives

In analogy with the 6×6 block from Bosco's rule, there is a 13×13 still life which is a full square minus the four corner cells:

x = 12, y = 12, rule = R10,C2,M1,S123..212,B123..170,NM b10o$12o$12o$12o$12o$12o$12o$12o$12o$12o$12o$b10o! #C [[ THUMBSIZE 2 THEME 6 GRID GRIDMAJOR 0 SUPPRESS THUMBLAUNCH ]]

Oscillators

The Bosco doesn't work.

Spaceships

Spaceships in this rule generally tend to resemble the ones from bugs. The most common spaceship is superluminous, has 215 cells and travels at 12c/11:
