Field Notes

Habitat:

In native habitat from open fields to rainforest, except some of the high altitude. In introduced habitats, appear to strongly prefer, or be restricted to, urban and other disturbed areas. They spend the majority of their time on the bottom two meters of tree trunks, but will go to the ground to forage and also to lay eggs.

Notes:

At least large males, I find most of the time head down on trunks.
