Collection and habitat data
Little is known about the habitat associations of this species.Two adults of this rare species were collected from deciduous leaf litter along a small stream and from alder litter on a lake margin (Campbell 1975b[1]). Others were taken from flight intercept traps (Campbell 1988[2]). In New Brunswick, adults were collected from under bark in a wood pile, from leaf litter near a stream, and with a net during an evening flight. Some individuals were collected in Lindgren funnel traps deployed in old red oak forest, an old-growth red pine forest, an old-growth white spruce and balsam fir forest, and an old-growth northern hardwood forest. Adults were collected during April, June, July, August, and September but most during April.
