Stenamma megamanni

Stenamma megamanni occurs from 700–2800 m, but it is most common from 1400–2000 m (there is also one dubious record from 150 m at Pico Bonito). It mainly inhabits montane wet forest environments, such as cloud forest, oak-pine forest, riparian forest, and mesophyll forest. Specimens have been collected in samples of sifted leaf litter, by baiting, by use of a Malaise trap, and by searching. Nests are known from rotting logs, under rocks, in mud and clay banks, and in dead bark. Most collections of this species have been inside closed-canopy forest, but it has been found several times nesting in clearings near cloud forest (similar to Stenamma manni). The highest record of the species was a log nest in a clearing between lower elevation cloud forest and higher elevation pine forest.
