It lives in subtropical or tropical moist lowland/foothill forest and plantations, feeding on flower nectar and insects. Mexican woodnymphs are vulnerable, threatened by habitat loss through deforestation.

History ''Zafiro'' was constructed in 1884 in the United Kingdom by Hall, Russell & Company in Aberdeen, Scotland. Admiral George Dewey purchased her for the U.S. Navy in Hong Kong, China, on 9 April 1898, just before his Asiatic Squadron sailed for the Philippine Islands at the beginning of the Spanish–American War. Though the ''Secretary of the Navy's Report'' for 1900 indicates that ''Zafiro'' was placed in commission on 10 April 1898, her role as a commissioned ship must have been unique indeed, for her complement showed only one U.S. Navy man, her commanding officer, aboard. At the time of the battle, she was commanded by Ensign Henry A. Pearson, USN, but retained her civilian crew. Despite orders to the contrary, Dewey did not commission ''Zafiro'' into the U.S. Navy, so she would technically be a merchant shi ...
