In the sunlit bushlands of Australia, this electric-blue spark dances low through grasses and shrubs with restless grace. It forages for tiny insects and larvae, flicking its tail as flashes of color ripple through the undergrowth. What makes it extraordinary is its intricate social life — cooperative family groups working together to survive, regulate insect populations, and keep the bush in balance. Brilliant in color yet subtle in impact, a living jewel of the Australian wild.
