Natural history
This species has been found in entrances of fox (Vulpes sp.) and woodchuck (Marmota monax (L.)) burrows in early spring (April to June) (Klimaszewski 1984[1]), and in caves (Klimaszewski and Peck 1986[2]). Adults were taken from moist soil and grass roots near the burrow entrances, and in carrion in caves. The two specimens from NB were found in similar burrow habitats during May.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska
