Habitat
The great Sapphirewing resides in a range of forest settings such as humid evergreen and elfin woods, and at times near the tree-line where shrubby inclines meet sparse trees. It is also found in high-altitude grassy areas with a wet climate, as well as Polylepis woodlands. These habitats display a patchy distribution that adapts with changes in food availability.
