A very small much coveted gem
...found in open country but also
in cultivated areas and gardens.
Chrysolampis mosquitus
(L 3.2" Wt 0.12 oz)
Chrysolampis is Greek for
glow-worm; mosquitus in
Spanish means lttle fly.
No other bird comes close to being
able to fly like a hummingbird.
Their default setting is to fly.
