Glischrochilus quadrisignatus has been found in Canada from British Columbia east to Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland ( McNamara 1991; Majka and Cline 2006), and in the United States from Maine south to Florida and west through Kansas to Utah and Wyoming ( Parsons 1943; Chandler 2001). The species is abundant throughout much of the Maritime Provinces ( Majka and Cline 2006) and is attracted to decaying fruit, vegetables, and the odor of anything sweet ( Downie and Arnett 1996). Price and Young (2006) found it associated with rotting fruit, corn, dung, carrion, wounded trees, a polypore fungus, and under the bark of black cherry ( Prunus serotina Ehrh. , Rosaceae ).
