Little Bee-eater Perched In The Edge Of The Bush In The Okavango Delta In Botswana, Africa. Stock Photography

Pictured is a little bee-eater perched in the edge of the bush in the Okavango Delta in Botswana, Africa. Bee-eaters predominantly eat insects, especially bees, wasps and hornets, who are caught in the air by sorties from low open perches, maybe only a meter or less high. Before eating their meal, a bee-eater removes the stinger by repeatedly hitting the insect on a hard surface. . The photograph was taken from a safari vehicle based at the Atzaro Okavango Camp. The binomial name is Merops pusilius .
