Collection and Habitat data. The NH specimens were found in leaf litter below a birch sap drip, and in leaf litter under a fallen spruce. Collected in May and September. In Canada most specimens were captured from a pile of decaying moldy corncobs and cornhusks near a composter next to a mixed forest in a residential area; two adults were sifted from coyote dung in an old jack pine forest, and another from a decayed mushroom in a mixed forest ( Webster et al. 2016, Klimaszewski et al. 2018).
