Where to Railroad worms live?

Railroad worms, which are the larvae of the beetle species Phrixothrix hirtus, typically inhabit damp, decaying wood and leaf litter in forests, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions of Central and South America. They are often found in areas with high humidity, where they can thrive in the moist environment. The worms are known for their bioluminescent properties, which they use for communication and possibly to deter predators.
