Stenamma diversum

Stenamma diversum occurs in relatively pristine wet forest habitats from sea level to about 1,100 m elevation. It is a particularly interesting species because it has convergently evolved many of the same nesting behaviors as Stenamma alas and Stenamma expolitum, even though it is not closely related (Branstetter 2012, unpublished data).
