Habitat. Oosterbroek et al., 2007: 14 (a widespread, common species, found for example in all the Canadian arctic ecosystems, extending from northern Ellesmere Is to the Boreal forest (Brodo, 1990), but primarily in cold, exposed and open habitats; on Ellesmere Is the larvae have been found in the soil of moist slopes, in troughs between tundra hummocks, and in wet mud at the ege of water bodies; usually these larvae were not found close to plant material, however, one larva was found in association with roots of Polygonum viviparum; probably these larvae feed on micro-organisms or detritus in the soil (Brodo, 2000 and unpublished field notes); in the Altai and Amur regions the species was found in snowberry (Symphoricarpos) vegetations at altitudes between 2000 and 2100 m. (Savchenko et al., 1972) and tall herbaceous Calamagrostis meadows (Zinovjev & Savchenko, 1962)).
