Way of Life
Macrohabitat: Lowlands, sea level, in the intertidal zone of sea beaches. Microhabitat: Adults are ground-dwelling on coralline sands in the vicinity of coral reefs. Dispersal abilities: Wing-polymorphic: macropterous form probably capable of flight; brachypterous form, consequently flightless thus vagility limited to walking or running; both forms slow runners. Seasonal occurrence: Adults have been found in January and October. Behavior: Nocturnal predators, adults take cover during the day under dry seaweed just above the high water mark.
