Damp, warm environments such as under bark, in leaf litter, or indoors in libraries, pantries, and damp storage areas.

Feeds primarily on microscopic fungi, mold, mildew, starch, and organic debris.

Active runners that avoid light; they do not fly. They undergo simple metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult) and thrive in high humidity.

They are considered nuisance pests rather than health hazards. They do not bite or transmit disease, but their presence indicates moisture issues or mold that could damage belongings like books or grain.
