Collection and Habitat data. In NH found in birch and fir litter, and in rotten wood. Most specimens were collected by flight intercept traps; specimen from mid-winter was taken by a pitfall trap. Collected from June to March; most specimens were taken during August–September. In AK specimens were captured in alpine tundra, as well as forests of mostly spruce, some aspen, and Betula sp. and Populus tremuloides; in old-growth, and thinned and unthinned 2nd growth forests (Klimaszewski et al. 2021). In Canada found in many forest types, including hardwood and various coniferous species; adults common in decaying and rotten mushrooms in many of the above forest types. Some taken in a group of Pholiota mushrooms on trunk of dead Populus; another under coyote dung on forest road (Klimaszewski et al. 2006, 2021).
