I know ..i am so glad i have visually seen them with my own eye's now ...they are amazing , i have not found any in the rainforest habitat's ...so i am with your line of thinking too ,,they like moisture , and seem to pop after a rain

I like your comment 'not overly wet'. I've got this theory that they won't exist on a surface which has 'moving' water. Still can't get over the colour of these... almost artificial.
