Collection and habitat data.

Danae testacea was captured in Lindgren funnel traps in an old red oak forest and an old red pine forest. Both individuals of this species were captured during August. The specimen reported from Nova Scotia was found in an old-growth hardwood stand, and Majka (2007) suggested that this species may be associated with old-growth hardwood forests.
