Natural history.

In Northwest Territories, one male was captured in birch/spruce forest. In Saskatchewan, adults were found in wet willow thicket, spruce-alder litter, ditch litter in a deciduous forest, and on ferns and in scat. In Newfoundland, a single adult was collected from treading vegetation and sphagnum moss in a boggy area (Klimaszewski et al. 2011). In Yukon Territory, the species was found in moss in a meadow (Klimaszewski et al. 2012). The adults were collected from June to September.
