Habitat:
It occurs in humid forest including secondary growth and plantations. It is rarely found in unbroken forest and favours clearings, stream margins and forest edge (Lopes et al. 2017). The species was recorded at a higher abundance in old logged forest and in forest with linear plantations than in primary forest in Venezuela (Mason 1996). It appears to undertake regional movements in response to the availability of flowers (Abrahamczyk and Kessler 2010).

Range:
Campylopterus largipennis has a large range across the Amazon basin. C. l. largipennis occurs in eastern Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and northwest Brazil east of the Rio Negro. C. l. obscurus occurs in eastern Colombia, south through Ecuador and Peru to northern Bolivia, and east to eastern Amazonian Brazil, mainly south of the Amazon river.

Conservation:
The species occurs in a large number of protected areas across its range.
