Adelomyrmex micans

Adelomyrmex micans is a high elevation specialist inhabiting mature cloud forest from 1700–2700 m, usually above 2000 m. Most specimens are from sifted litter, and when present it occurs in 1–5% of quantitative miniWinkler samples. Workers are occasionally encountered at baits. At a site in the Cordillera de Chiapas, LLAMA project participant D. J. Cox hand-collected a specimen 25 m high in a cloud forest tree, by searching under epiphytes. (Longino 2012)
