Habitat/Ecology. This species was found mostly in primary or mature secondary forests of varying levels of disturbance in Singapore, as well as young secondary forest such as abandoned plantation and parkland forest fragments in semi-urban settings. Individuals were found in leaf litter, also rotting wood and soil at bases of trees. On one occasion, some individuals were found in an Anoplolepis gracilipes nest in a fallen rotting tree branch.
