Glischrochilus quadrisignatus
has been found in
Canada
from
British Columbia
east to
Nova Scotia
,
Prince Edward Island
, and Newfoundland (
McNamara 1991
;
Majka and Cline 2006
), and in the
United States
from
Maine
south to
Florida
and west through
Kansas
to
Utah
and
Wyoming
(
Parsons 1943
;
Chandler 2001
). The species is abundant throughout much of the Maritime Provinces (
Majka and Cline 2006
) and is attracted to decaying fruit, vegetables, and the odor of anything sweet (
Downie and Arnett 1996
).
Price and Young (2006)
found it associated with rotting fruit, corn, dung, carrion, wounded trees, a polypore fungus, and under the bark of black cherry (
Prunus serotina
Ehrh.
,
Rosaceae
).
