Reproductive females are found within the leaf litter, while mature males and nonreproductive females are found on herbaceous plants and epiphytes (Ortega et al. 2009). A subpopulation has also been recorded from a coffee plantation and highly disturbed dry forest (Ortega et al. 2009). It is a species that breeds by direct development.

This species is known from elevated areas in the department of Santander on the western slopes of the Occidental Cordillera, in Colombia. It has been recorded from 1,400–2,400 m asl (Ramírez et al. 2011). In 2003, two relatively large neighboring subpopulations were found within the Santander department, one on a large coffee plantation in the municipalities of Piedecuesta and Mesa de los Santos and another within highly disturbed tropical dry forest in the municipality of Piedecuesta (Ortega et al. 2009).
