Habitat/Ecology. This species is associated with young secondary habitat in Singapore, mostly disturbed secondary forest fragments within semi-urban settings, or close to man-made infrastructure.
Remarks. It has been surmised that Java and Sumba (both part of Indonesia) represent the west-most limits of the species native range, and that populations in Malaysia and Singapore are possibly introduced (Bolton 1977).
