Glittering-Bellied Emerald

Chlorostilbon lucidus

Description:

During the time of its greatest activity is very aggressive. Bathe in the rain. It needs a lot of cleaning, due to constant contact with the viscous liquid flowers. He likes to sunbathe and stretches after the break.

Habitat:

It inhabits the forest, scrub and gardens. I found this specimen in a mountainous region of transition forest, between the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado.

Thanks "Reza Hashemizadeh" and "EnvUnlimited"! ;D
And... It's funny, but... When I went photograph it, as I was away, I thought I was aiming at a dragonfly. Just when I gave the zoom I see: "That's a hummingbird!"
