[2] It is currently known to be endemic to India, its type locality is National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Odisha.

[2][3][4] Specimens of Siler niser were found in acute vicinity of the ant Camponotus compressus.

Individuals are extremely agile and move to the underside of leaves as soon as they detected any external movement.

Type specimens were collected from Hyptis suaveolens and Lannea coromandelica seedling foliage, both about 2 feet above the ground, during the month of May.

These habitats are under threat as they are often labelled as unproductive and the biodiversity they harbour remains poorly documented.
