In the sunlit fields and riverbanks of South and Southeast Asia, this emerald flier slices the air with effortless grace. It perches lightly on wires and bare branches, scanning the open space before launching to snatch bees, wasps, and other flying insects in midair. What makes it extraordinary is its role as a natural regulator — keeping insect populations in balance while adding life and color to farmlands and waterways alike. A flash of green against blue sky, yet a vigilant guardian of open landscapes.
