Natural history.

In SK, one female was captured in May from wind-drift on the lake. In NB, Strigota obscurata was found in flood debris on a river margin, on soil at the base of grass in a residential lawn, and captured in a Lindgren funnel trap in an old jack pine forest (Webster et al. 2016b). Brunke et al. (2012) reported this as the most common species in southern Ontario soybean fields, often occurring in open habitats with Strigota ambigua .
