Roraiman Barbtail

Roraimia adusta

Least Concern

The Roraiman Barbtail is a barbtail of humid montane forests in Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil. It creeps over mossy trunks and branches, propped on its tail, gleaning small insects. Fun fact: Many members of this family build extraordinary nests, from mud ovens to huge stick castles and tunnels dug in earth banks.
