Distribution

It is found in the temperate and warm countries of the Palaearctic Region. It has been reported for several localities in Spain and Portugal; also in the District of Beja. It is common on shrubby vegetation, where there are numerous webs of Araneidae (of which they are kleptoparasites); but it is also found in grasslands, especially if there are tall grasses (where some Araneidae also settle). It is considered a common species.
