Collection and Habitat data. The NH and ME specimens were primarily captured by passive traps, such as flight intercept and pitfall traps, as well as found on the side of a water tower; also taken in leaf litter and by a UV trap. Collected from March to August with one ME record from November; most frequently captured in early spring. In Canada taken in both forest and wetland habitats in leaf litter and moss ( Klimaszewski et al. 2006, 2018). Also collected from pitfall and other traps in red spruce dominated forest, dry zone of alvar habitat, sandy beaches at the edge of oak forests, in maple forests, and by a Lindgren funnel trap in a red pine forest ( Klimaszewski et al. 2018).
