Natural history.

The SK specimens were captured in May and June from unspecified habitat. Elsewhere, this species is associated with soil and organic debris in agricultural fields and disturbed urban meadows. It is also found in marsh litter, in leaf litter in mixed forests, in compost, under bark of decaying spruce logs, amongst vegetation on a coastal sand dune, in litter in a cattail marsh, in leaf litter along a vernal pond, and in drift material along a lakeshore ( Webster et al. 2009, Klimaszewski et al. 2010, 2011, 2013a, b). The adult activity period is April to September.
