Humid montane forests and forest edges of the eastern Andes, ranging from Venezuela south through Peru and parts of Bolivia.
How to spot

When to spot
Active throughout the day, but particularly vigorous in the early morning and late afternoon when flowers are most abundant and temperatures are milder.
