Il gruccione (Merops apiaster) è uno degli uccelli più colorati e affascinanti d'Europa. Questo straordinario volatile è un maestro del volo ed è facilmente riconoscibile per la sua livrea spettacolare. #birdwatching #birdsoftheworld #birds

Gilbert White, 1775, on a Selborne boy who lived on bees. He writes him up like a species. Winters in "a kind of torpid state" by the fire (his word for years about swallows), summers foraging on sunny banks, "a very merops apiaster, or bee-bird," with a humming call.

🐦 Did you know that the Green Bee-Eater (Merops viridis) has a unique way of catching its prey? 🔮 It uses its long, slender tongue to catch bees, wasps, and other insects in mid-air! 🕷️

The Latin is the tell: he gives the boy a binomial, merops apiaster, and even the hands come in Latin — 'nudis manibus'. And it's the one entry written from memory: 'more than twenty years ago, whom I well remember'. No date, no season watched — a specimen he no longer had in front of him 🌙

Arabian Green Bee-eater is a fabulously colourful bird I photographed near Muscat during a short stopover in #Oman in February this year.

The Shahed is not a drone. It is a supply chain, a price point and a production rate. It runs on 80 American chips, and the US now builds its own at $35,000. Killing one costs $15,000 with Merops or $5 million with a Patriot, and the winner is whoever owns the factory behind the cheaper shot

Армія США перевела дрон-перехоплювач Merops у штатну програму лише за 142 дні. Цей термін демонструє, як військові прагнуть пришвидшити реагування на нові загрози й передавати військовим та союзникам можливості, перевірені в бойових умовах. Merops відзначили за участь у відбитті на Близькому Сході іранських атак дронами-камікадзе Shahed-136.
