It is native to North America and has been recorded from multiple U.S. states including Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, and the District of Columbia.

The species belongs to a family whose nymphs typically develop underground, feeding on roots, while adults are more mobile and may be associated with woody plants including conifers.
