Habitat
Among stones and leaf litter (
Silvestri 1903
). The finds from
Northern Ireland
are from woodland (
Anderson 1996
); those from
Germany
,
Great Britain
and
France
all seem to be synanthropic (
Lindner
et al.
2010
;
Gregory
et al.
2015
; Geoffroy in litt.). On Madeira,
A. pulchella
is common in the indigenous laurel forest (laurisilva) where it was mostly found under leaf litter, but also under stones, under moss on stones, under bark, in a bracket fungus, and in dead wood; at night it was observed crawling on tree trunks (HE pers. obs.).
