Bionomic Notes. Adults of M. vulpina were collected along river (clear water) margins among cobblestones or gravel at the edge of the water at all sites where this species was found. Adults were located by turning over cobblestones or larger pebbles. Nothing was previously known about the habitat association of this species. In New Brunswick, adults were collected during June and August. Collection method: hand collecting (turning over cobblestones and pebbles).

Bionomic Notes. One adult was collected by beating foliage in a regenerating mixed forest (about 15 years old) with a few red oaks ( Quercus rubra L.) in July and another was collected in April from moist leaf litter on the margin of a vernal pond in a mixed forest. In Nova Scotia, five individuals of E. micmac were found inside spherical galls on red oak. Other individuals were collected in areas with red oak. However, it is unclear if this species is an obligate resident of oak galls. Collection method: beating foliage, sifting.
