This adventive, Palaearctic species is newly recorded in British Columbia. It is found across Europe, Asia, North Africa, and east to the Orient (Smetana 2004). This species is associated with dung and decaying organic matter. North American specimens have been found on cow dung and pig carrion (Klimaszewski et al. 2007a).
