Natural history.

In Saskatchewan, specimens were found on a mushroom in a pine forest. In Labrador, specimens were collected using pitfall traps in various coniferous, deciduous and mixedwood forest types ( Klimaszewski et al. 2011). Elsewhere, adults were collected in forest litter in deciduous-dominated stands and in balsam fir forest, as well as in sphagnum moss ( Klimaszewski et al. 2006). The adults were collected from June to September.
