In Thailand it is also found in rock crevices (Bates et al. 2008). The species forages under canopies of vegetation ranging from plantation to primary forests. Two individuals were collected in a garden in which was growing litchi, jack-fruit, banana and other vegetation in Cat Ba island (Thong 2012).
