==Natural history==
In NB, two specimens of ''{{Taxon name|Orus dentiger}}'' were sifted from decaying sea wrack on gravel sea beaches during May. Elsewhere, this species has been collected from March to November under stones, in soil samples, on lake shores, in sphagnum moss on the margin of a tamarack (''{{Taxon name|Larix laricina}}'' (Du Roi) Koch) marsh (Blatchley 1910<ref name="B7"> {{aut|Blatchley W}} (1910) An illustrated descriptive catalogue of the {{Taxon name|Coleoptera}} or beetles (exclusive of the {{Taxon name|Rhynchophora}}) known to occur in Indiana.
