The legs are pale orange as well. The underside of its abdomen is dark with the rear end of the abdomen (and the rest of the underside) being orange.[6]
Distribution
[edit | edit source]Amphasia interstitialis is widespread across the northeastern United States, slightly branching out into Ontario, Quebec, and the central United States.[3][4][7]
It is found in covered places such as deciduous forests, usually in leaf litter and under stones and logs.[7] It is also found in lowland habitats such as wetlands and mesic areas.[8]
