Habitats and Life History
Habitats: Shelley (1981) describes latior more-or-less as a hardwood generalist: "The nominate subspecies occurs in predominantly deciduous forests, where it may be found under rocks, logs, or thin layers of leaves. The milliped appears to be a potential inhabitant of any hardwood site within its range, whether on a hillside, in a ravine, or in a floodplain."""
