Long-winged nocturnal bird which catches insects in flight often around dawn and dusk. Found in shrubby open areas. Intricate brown, buffy, and gray patterning with white patches near wingtips. Very similar to Common Nighthawk, best distinguished by the position of white wing patch: closer to wingtip on Lesser, closer to base of wing on Common, but this difference can be very difficult to judge. Also typically paler than Common with more golden buffy tones. During the day, roosts on the ground or on a tree branch. (eBird)

We had been told that this was a Yucatan Nighthawk, but when I posted it, I was informed that it was actually a Lesser Nighthawk. Oh well :-)

Epithelantha micromeris: i fruttini con i semi.
ecco uno dei tanti esempi di fruttificazione delle cactacee. Come potete osservare i fruttini, molto piccoli, contengono dei semini che si possono osservare in trasparenza. Sarà sufficiente schiacciare il fruttino su un foglio di carta da cucina, lasciare asciugare la polpa e una volta seccata potrete stropicciarla per ricavare i semini.
Se vi andasse di tentare la semina potrete utilizzare una scatola/contenitore semitrasparente in vendita in qualsiasi supermercato o grande magazzino che forerete sul fondo e riempirete con terriccio abbastanza drenante. Su di esso spargerete in superficie i semini. Bagnate con delicatezza e ricoprite con il coperchio disponendo il tutto in un luogo esposto a sud ma in mezz'ombra. Se siete stati bravi verrete ricompensati .
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Epithelantha micromeris
here is one of the many examples of fruiting of cacti. As you can see, the very small fruits contain seeds that can be seen in transparency. It will be sufficient to crush the fruit on a sheet of kitchen paper, let the pulp dry and once dried you can crumble it to obtain the seeds.
If you would like to try sowing, you can use a semi-transparent box / container for sale in any supermarket or department store that you will drill in the bottom and fill with fairly draining soil. On it you will spread the seeds on the surface. Wet gently and cover with the lid, placing everything in a place facing south but in partial shade. If you have been good you will be rewarded

E. micromeris is credited with great intellectual and moral qualities. This "medicine" is said to give speed to runners, prolong life, and make the eyes large and clear to be able to see sorcerers. Both it, and its fruit, are ingested as a stimulant and protector by traditional Tarahumara foot-runners, but are considered less effective than L. williamsii or A. fissuratus. Its fruits are laid before the altar in ceremonies, and it had continued to play a minor part in Tarahumara festivals well into the 20th century. Similar to terms surrounding A. fissuratus, any words describing the effects of E. micromeris must be viewed as only abbreviated renderings of traditional reports, and should not be interpreted according to a western understanding.
E. micromeris is one of two accepted species in the genus while a number of variations exist which are often cited as species. In addition to numerous alkaloids, five triterpenes and one sterol have been reported within E. micromeris.
Its fruit are known as "chilitos."
