The species is associated with oldgrowth forests (Zeran et al. 2006) and is found at sap, under bark and on flowering trees, shrubs, and plants (Parsons 1943). Price and Young (2006) found it on wounded large-toothed poplar ( Populus grandidentata ), and oak ( Quercus sp.) and on flowers of Prunus spp. and tansy ( Tanacetum vulgare L., Asteraceae). In Nova Scotia it is found at sap, primarily in deciduous forests (Majka and Cline 2006).
