Natural history.

This species is strongly associated with forests. The habitats of adults include bison faeces in British Columbia and wet spruce litter and poplar-spruce litter in Saskatchewan. In Newfoundland, adults were collected using carrion traps and flight intercept traps in various mixedwood and coniferous forest types ( Klimaszewski et al. 2011). Some specimens were found in rotting mushrooms in forests and under the bark of decaying spruce logs ( Klimaszewski et al. 2011). Elsewhere in North America it was collected from fungi and in pitfall traps in forests. The adults were collected from June to August.
