On the Marojejy Massif, they sometimes call sitting on leaves in the vegetation near dry beds of temporary headwater streams. At the same site, we also found a clutch with quite well-developed larvae on a leaf that may belong to this species. We also found clutches that were faded and whitish, which may have been infected with a fungus or bacterial growth.
