It has been found breeding only within the seed capsules of the common myrtaceous shrub, Kunzea ericoides that is sometimes referred to both as Leptospermum ericoides and as Baeckea phylicoides . Adults however have been taken in low numbers from various other plants ( Mound & Walker 1986 ), suggesting that these adults are dispersive in their behavior.
