Habitat:

I found this critter in Atlantic Forest, at Parque São Vicente, the place I shot almost all photographs shown here until now.

Notes:

The town of the coordinates (lat: -22.538514, long: -43.228292) that I used for search, is not DUQUE DE CAXIAS, as reports the search map tool of this page, but PETRÓPOLIS, as shown here:
