This is both neat, and impressive technically, though I'm wondering what the advantage is over, say, a quad-rotor?
Presumably the idea is to use it for spying, but I'm not sure that makes sense. Every place I've ever lived, hummingbirds are rare enough that I'd pay particular attention to any I saw, because they're cool, and as good as it looks, I'm not sure it can withstand any significant scrutiny. Are there areas of the world where hummingbirds are like flies and people actually ignore them?
