They form shallow underground nests underneath rocks and debris (not soil mounds like Atta sp). They usually follow each other while foraging, but they do not clear their pathways like Atta sp. does.

They have been defoliating a small Averrhoa carambola tree for several days: they attack only after sunset, not during daylight. They also defoliated almost completely a small shrub of orange (Citrus sinensis) and they have been cutting all new buds from a nearby cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum verum), leaving only the mature leaves. They also partially defoliate many other plant species in the nearby area, but not as much as the previously mentioned.
