Trail in baccharis artemisia malosma shrubland with Quercus agrifolia.

Mating behavior:
Male bumped into female and rapidly grappled with her. This was followed by the male biting the female's genital plate region and massaging the area while walking with the motionless female and stopping for brief periods. After around 1 minute, the female began moving again, using palps to try and move away, while the male continued walking. The total process took around 2 minutes.
