Did you know, those little bees you see in the evening sitting on flowers are old bees.
Old & sick bees don't return to the hive at the end of their day.
They spend the night on flowers, and if they have the chance to see another sunrise, they resume their activity by bringing pollen or nectar to the colony.
They do this sensing that the end is near.
No bee waits to die in the hive so as not to burden the others.
So, next time you see an old little bee sat upon a flower as the night closes in...
...thank the little bee ๐ for her life long service.
In 1991, Metallica performed in Moscow at a military airfield just a few months prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union. The event was part of the 'Monsters of Rock' festival, featuring bands like AC/DC and Pantera.
With a staggering attendance of over 1.6 million people, the concert set a record at that time and was hailed as a symbol of democracy and freedom.
Metallica was enjoying immense success thanks to their critically acclaimed album known as the Black Album, and one of their popular hits, "Enter Sandman," was performed during the show.
Reflecting on the experience years later, Metallica's lead singer, James Hetfield, remarked, "Actually, I would have to say the Russian show when we showed up in '91 after the coup, where the country had opened up and was no longer communist. Doing that open airfield, we played with four other bands, and basically, for the first time, it was a free concert out in an airfield, and they estimated a million, or half a million, nobody knew really. But just being able to play in a place that was just fresh and hadn't heard anything like that before really, and just watching people change as the music moved them. There were plenty of military people that just started taking their uniforms off and started rocking out. It was a really freeing thing, so it was awesome to witness that."
It's worth mentioning that only two other bands have achieved greater concert attendance numbers. Rod Stewart's concert in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, in 1994, drew approximately 3.4 million people, while Jean Michel Jarre's concert in 1997 amassed a staggering 3.5 million fans.

In the rugged and rocky terrains of the Zagros mountains in Iran, a remarkable predator roams, known as the spider-tailed horned viper
Look at its tail,
the tip resembles the shape of a spider, but not only that it moves just like a spider, and used as a hunting tool to lure insectivorous birds
