Notes. Recorded nesting in oak galls, possibly from Massachusetts ( Packard 1867). Scott (1993) describes this species nesting communally in buried wood at a sandy site at Pictured Lakes National Lakeshore, Michigan. A nest in driftwood on the west shore of Lake Michigan was reported by Graenicher (1905).
