The species usually occurs in wet habitats, often at ground level in coastal estuaries and saltmarsh, sometimes with Erigone arctica. Inland it is associated with damp grassland within river flood plains, where it has been collected in Leicestershire with E. arctica (Crocker & Daws 1996). Adults can probably be found all year, but mainly in summer and autumn.
