Creepy
China’s new micro spy drone. Grok says it real. Click the link to see it in flight.
It’s very good, but I question how long it can fly on a charge. And then take pictures and wifi them back to base.
Being an electric bike kinda gal, I’m always worried about battery issues.
Grok: “China’s National University of Defense Technology unveiled this mosquito-like micro-drone in June 2025, measuring 2 cm long and 0.3 grams, with flapping wings for silent, insect-mimicking flight suited to indoor espionage, as confirmed by reports in Newsweek and Euronews.”
Tomorrow, I have to hop on a train and do the ophthalmology thing again. It’s just a checkup, but I hate that they call me in last minute. From someone who used to do several trans-Atlantic flights a year, I have become an bad traveller.

Seeing no comments yet on your creepy post, i felt compelled to contribute. Wishing you much good news on your opthalmological adventure. Having had two successful cataract surgeries and a (sadly) failed victrectomy ordeal, I pray for 20/20 clarity…

Taking photos is bad enough to give me the creeps. But it looks just big enough it could be equipped with a small reservoir of concentrated carfentanil and with a gadget to squeeze a drop out on an unsuspecting victim’s skin. That stuff’s about 100 times more potent than fentanyl. Heckuva murder bug.
