Natural Habitat

Diet & Feeding
Adults may feed on nectar, plant fluids, decaying organic matter, or nothing; larvae often consume fungi, decaying material, or other organic matter.
Behavior Patterns
Typically weak fliers attracted to light, moisture, odors, or vegetation; many species have short life cycles and reproduce in damp organic material.
