The female is brighter than the male and takes the lead in courtship. The male incubates the eggs, usually four, in a nest on the ground or floating for about 20 days.
All three species live in reedy swamps, and their diet consists of annelid worms and other invertebrates, which they find with their long bills.
Species
- Greater Painted Snipe (Rostratula benghalensis) is found in marshes in Africa, India and South-east Asia.
- Australian Painted Snipe (Rostratula australis) is a rare, nomadic and declining species found only in Australia (Lane & Rogers 2000)
- Lesser Painted Snipe (Nycticryptes semicollaris), inhabits grassy marshland in southern South America.
