Natural history.

In Saskatchewan, specimens were captured in horse manure. Elsewhere, adults are usually associated with cow dung, carrion, compost, rotting mushrooms, and other rotting organic substrates (Klimaszewski et al. 2007a, Webster et al. 2009, Michaud et al. 2010). The adults were collected from May to October.
