Natural history.

One female was captured in the Yukon using a Lindgren funnel trap in a white spruce stand. Adults in Newfoundland and Labrador were collected using pitfall traps and flight intercept traps in various coniferous forest types, and one specimen was collected under the bark of a dead red pine ( Klimaszewski et al. 2011). In British Columbia, adults were caught in emergence traps attached to the trunks of lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. latifolia Engelm.) infested by mountain pine beetle ( Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) (Langor, unpublished). In New Brunswick, adults were found: under the bark of large fallen spruce in an old-growth eastern white cedar swamp; under tight bark of American elm; in a silver maple forest; in fleshy polypore fungi at the base of a dead standing Populus sp. in a wet alder swamp; in a group of Pholiota sp. at the base of a dead Populus sp. in a mixed forest. In Quebec, adults were found in dead black spruce in a black spruce forest. Adults were also captured in Lindgren funnel traps deployed in an old-growth white spruce ( Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) and balsam fir forest, an old mixed forest with red and white spruce, red and white pine ( Pinus strobus L.), and a rich Appalachian hardwood forest with some conifers ( Klimaszewski et al. 2013). The adults were collected from March to September.
