Distribution

Wide distribution, from Europe and North Africa ( Fontana et al. 2002). In Italy, it is widespread over the whole country (Sicily and Sardinia included) ( Iorio et al. 2019, Massa et al. 2012).

Notes

It lives from the sea level to 2300 m in the mountains, in grasslands, wasteland, forest clearings, urban and agricultural habitats. This species has two generations in one year and can be found from May to November. It is one of the few species living in the Padanian Plain, in cultivated fields, too ( Fontana et al. 2002, Massa et al. 2012).
