Overview
Species of Echinopla nest and forage arboreally. Foragers are most often encountered during the day, almost exclusively on foliage and only rarely on the ground. Nests occur in dead twigs, vines or branches on live trees. They are infrequently collected, probably because they are found well above the ground and their nests and foraging areas are not readily accessible. There have been no detailed studies undertaken with these ants.
