has been recorded in
Canada
from
British Columbia

and

(

), and in the

from

south to

and west to
Texas
and
Nebraska
(

) and is found at sap, under bark and on flowering trees, shrubs, and plants (

Price and Young (2006)
found it on wounded large-toothed poplar (

Tanacetum vulgare
L.,

).
In Nova Scotia
it is found at sap, primarily in deciduous forests (
Majka and Cline 2006
