Natural history.

In Saskatchewan, one male was captured in horse manure. Elsewhere, adults were collected from decaying organic matter, fungi, animal droppings, human feces, and carrion (Klimaszewski et al. 2002). Larvae are parasitic on fly pupae (Klimaszewski et al. 2002). The adults were collected from June to September.
