It was noted that the specimen positioned lower on the trunks would drop to the ground as a defensive mechanism. This behaviour may suggest a life cycle alternating between ground level during hot, dry days, and upper trunk areas during rainy days to seek shelter from ground flooding. Observations indicated that the species exhibits nocturnal habits, becoming active from 17:30 onwards
