Saproxylic habits.
Predator of small arthropods under bark (Ferro et al. 2012 a); emerged from a wide variety of deadwood substrates, including logs, standing dead trees, and coarse and fine woody debris of loblolly pine, sweetgum, oak and various hardwoods (Ulyshen and Hanula 2009 a; Ferro et al. 2012 a; Ferro and Nguyen 2016); emerged from burned and unburned loblolly pine logs (Ulyshen et al. 2010), and loblolly pine and hardwoods across decomposition stages (Ulyshen and Hanula 2010; Ferro et al. 2012 a); associated with logs and portions of standing dead trees near to the ground (Ulyshen and Hanula 2009 a).
