this species is nocturnal and seems active in open grasslands, fresh water associated areas, forests and cultivated lands, and was collected in both wet and dry climatic conditions. Eggs which do not luminesce are laid as clusters on dry leaves and among leaf litter. Larvae are nocturnal, glow weakly, and were recorded from terrestrial habitats, living among plant debris and leaf litter.
