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 (<i>Prunus serotina</i> Ehrh., Rosaceae).
