Description
Habitat
Ecology: Lara-Góngora (2004) reports that the species can be encountered on live trees
, logs
, stumps
and fallen branches, in juniper, oak, pine-oak, pine and other temperate forest communities. It is unknown if the species can persist in modified habitat
, however, Lara-Góngora (2004) observes that it is rarely seen away from trees.[1]
