Smetana (1971a) reported this species from compost and grass piles, leaf and ground litter, and from old deserted beaver lodges. In New Brunswick, adults were sifted from compost and among cobblestones along a river margin. Other individuals were collected at a mercury-vapor light and during a late afternoon aerial flight. Adults were collected in May and June.
