I find it commonly in the Southern Oregon Cascade mountains where I have
a summer home. What I have found interesting about this species is that
it is common in spring and early summer, in mid-summer, and in the fall.
I also find specimens that died probably during the winter months every
spring. So it is present year around apparently.
