Although searches were conducted in both the rainy and dry seasons, seasonality appeared to have no effect on the abundance of this species, perhaps because of the nearly constant high humidity of the soil in the closed canopy forest. Their abundance was relatively low, and a three-person team usually managed to collect only 2–3 individuals in an hour of searching. Their distribution in the forest appeared to be patchy, and restricted only to undisturbed, shady parts of the forest, with little or no undergrowth but well developed leaf litter.

The density of individuals in abandoned termite mounds was usually high, reaching up to 8 individuals per nest (not all nymphal specimens were collected). However, only single individuals were found in individual chambers, whereas multiple individuals could be found sitting close together under logs and rocks (both nymphs and adults). While ricinuleids show nocturnal activity, on one occasion a single nymph was found during the day walking on the surface of leaf litter.
