This species is amphibious (p. 31). Shelf ord (1907) suggested that 

 immature stages of other species of the genus may be aquatic, which 

 would place them in moist situations on the shores of rivers and other 

 bodies of water.

 and litter; one found under decaying bark of a log (Hebard, 1921a).
