I saw recently the Chinese (The Chinese!) are experimenting in this area (and with flying insect machines?) — perhaps for surveillance drones that will look for all practical purposes like an ordinary bird/insect.

The whole "surveillance drone" thing is so overrated. No one gives a shit, really.
People make things like insect drones and bird drones because they're cool. That's it. That's the only practical purpose. Anything else is flimsy justification, sometimes employed to get the funding to do the cool thing.
