Collection and habitat data
Campbell (1976)[1] reported that adults were frequently collected from rotten wood, from deep layers of decaying leaves, and from bracket fungi and mushrooms. Most specimens from New Brunswick were collected from fleshy polypore fungi and bracket fungi on standing dead trees and logs. Some adults were also collected from Lindgren funnel trap samples. Two specimens were collected from Polyporus varius Fr. on a rotten log. This species was found in sugar maple and beech forests, a red spruce forest, an old-growth hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.)) forest, and mixed forests. Adults were collected during June, July, August, and September.
