Collection and habitat data.

Chandler (1997) notes that specimens have been taken from under pine bark, from pine and oak litter, and from tree holes. In New Brunswick, Actiastes globiferum was captured in Lindgren funnel traps deployed in an old-growth eastern white cedar forest, a 110-year-old red spruce forest, an old red pine forest, and an old red oak forest. Adults were collected during May, June, July, and August.
