It is nocturnal and, being far less common, it is almost impossible to find specimens in the daytime. Unlike A. vitticollis (it closest species), all specimens, male and female, are long-winged.

The grasses on which this species live are Panicum grumosum and Paspalum exaltatum. Another grass species that forms dense associations in low places is Cortaderia selloana, but A. vitticollis was not found in this habitat.
