The species is rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 150 - 1000m). However, it is presumed that this species has only not been found due to its habit of being active after sunset, when it becomes dark. Larva is carnivorous. The larvae grow up in the ant, Oecophylla smaragdina, nest, feeding on ant larvae.
