Collection and habitat data. Habitat (outside of the study area). Most specimens from QC were captured in pitfall traps in yellow birch and balsam fir dominated forests. In NB, under decaying seaweed on sea beach, under drift material on a riverbank, in grass, moss, and leaf litter in alder swamps, eastern white cedar swamps, and Carex marshes; in sphagnum moss and leaf litter in a young regenerating mixed forest, and in decaying (moldy) corncobs and cornhusks. Elsewhere, adults in litter around raspberry bushes near a bog, in a Typha marsh in a nest of Microtus pennsylvanicus (ON) , on a lake shore and in a Microtus pennsylvanicus nest (MN), and sifting vegetable debris in a dump (IN). Collecting period. III–X. Collecting method. Sifting forest and marsh litter, pitfall traps.
