Terrestrial

Sandy soils in the Fynbos and Succulent Karoo biomes. Recorded from a wide variety of vegetation types, most commonly in Renosterveld, Fynbos and Strandveld Succulent Karoo. Common in parks, gardens and cultivated lands, readily invade lawns and golf courses. Also forages on beaches, presumably for amphipods and isopods associated with kelp wracks (Bennett and Spinks 1995, Bronner 2013). Coexists with A. hottentotus at Stellenbosch, but prefers drier, sandier soils (Broom 1907).
