In the sun-warmed grasslands and reed-lined wetlands of South Asia, these ruby-dotted sprites move in lively flocks through tall stems. They forage for fine grass seeds and tiny insects, clinging lightly to swaying blades with constant chatter. What makes them extraordinary is their rhythm with the monsoon — appearing in abundance after rains, they mirror the pulse of renewal across open landscapes. Small, social, and brilliantly marked, cheerful keepers of the grasslands.
