Habitat/Ecology. Usually associated with primary and/or secondary forests at varying levels of disturbance in Singapore, including back mangrove forest, and disturbed but well-developed secondary forest fragments in urban or semi-urban settings (e.g. parkland). Nests were found in soil, soil mounds or rotten trunks and logs; individuals were often found at high densities from leaf litter and top soil, also under wood.
