Neomida bicornis from New Brunswick were collected from under bark, in bracket (polypore) fungi on a sun-exposed stump, and under bark of an American beech log covered with polypore fungi in hardwood and mixed forests. One individual was a victim of a Lindgren funnel trap. Adults were collected during April, May, August, and October. Majka et al. (2008) reported this species from similar habitats in Nova Scotia.
