Collection and habitat data.

Löbl and Stephan (1993) reported that Baeocera securiforma occurred in similar habitats as Baeocera congener Casey, namely in a variety of forest litter. The New Brunswick specimens were collected from moss in an eastern white cedar swamp, in litter and sphagnum in a sphagnum hummock on the margin of a Carex marsh and a tamarack ( Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) bog, and from the nest contents of a barred owl ( Strix varia Barton). The adults were collected during April and May.

Distribution in Canada and Alaska.
