Distribution
The species is widespread in much of England from Yorkshire southwards, but scattered and patchy in the south-west, Wales and north of Britain, and absent from northern Scotland. It is widespread in north-western and central Europe.

It over-winters in dry litter, including accumulations in brushwood on the side of tree trunks, in leaf litter and under dead wood. Adults of both sexes are found in late spring and early summer with females occasionally persisting until late summer. Adults of both sexes are sometimes recorded at other times of year.
