This is an extremely successful tramp species that nests and forages both terrestrially and arboreally, and may enter houses. Workers may be found under stones, in and under fallen wood and in tree stumps, on the forest floor and in the leaf litter, on low vegetation and in twigs, on tree trunks and up into the canopy. A single record is known from internodes of the myrmecophyte on Humboldtia laurifolia, from Gilimale in Sri Lanka. They also colonise more restricted spaces such as plant spathes and rot holes in wood and they attend a wide range of homopterous insects for honeydew. It is found to be pollinator of Syzygium occidentale, a tree species from the Western Ghats.
