Soils in these areas can be dark, red to black in color, clay to clay-loam, cracked and sometimes moist in low areas that are heavily trampled by cattle. Adult beetles tend to avoid the lighter coloured sandy areas that are exposed to full sunlight on the forest edges. Despite the common name, this species appears more closely associated with soils that possess high clay content, more so than loam. The preferred habitat of
