The majority of collecting events of this species are from forested streams, including those actively flowing as well as pooled up, or from isolated marginal pools in the stream bed (Fig.

). A few collections were made in forested detrital pools, although most if not all of these were near or associated with riparian corridors. They are usually found in habitats with abundant detritus or decaying organic matter. Females have been observed on numerous occasions to carry their egg case beneath their abdomen.
