Distribution
The species is widespread in much of Britain, but scattered in some areas. It is widespread in north-western and central Europe.

Habitat and ecology

It can be frequent on conifers in parkland (J. Daws, pers. comm.). Both sexes are found in early summer, occasionally persisting later.

Status
Common.
