In the sunlit river corridors and open woodlands of the Americas, this scarlet spark perches in plain view, impossible to overlook. It launches in quick aerial bursts to snatch flying insects, returning to the same lookout with effortless precision. What makes it extraordinary is how boldly it brings color to everyday landscapes — thriving near fields, towns, and waterways, it keeps insect populations in check while lighting up the air with flashes of red. Brilliant, confident, and endlessly watchful, a living ember on the wing.
