Bionomic Notes. In New Brunswick, L. franclemonti were collected from decaying sea wrack under alders on the upper margin of a sea beach, on decaying gilled mushrooms in a red spruce forest adjacent to a salt marsh, and in moss and leaves under alders in an old-growth eastern white cedar forest. Gusarov (2004) reported this species as common in forest litter and moss on forest floor. In New Brunswick, adults were collected in May, August, and September, suggesting that adults overwinter. Collection method: sifting.
