Habitat

Although poorly documented, found in a wide range of forested and nonforested habitats with riparian scrub the most common habitat (MacDonald and Cook 2009). All specimens collected by Dokuchaev (1997) were from riparian habitats.
Auxiliary habitat preferences: A few specimens collected in open low mixed shrub sedge tussock tundra habitat, and one animal was found in closed tall willow shrub habitat (Peirce and Peirce 2000). Other specimen collections occurred over a wide range of habitat types including wetlands/bog and coniferous and mixed forests.
