This widespread species is associated with moist, natural meadows and forest edges ( Tarnawski & Buchholz 2008). In Lithuania this species is considered as not rare ( Pileckis & Monsevičius 1995), but only few findings have been registered before ( Heyden, 1903, Ogijewicz 1939, Zajančkauskas & Pileckis 1968, Ferenca 2006) ( Fig. 8). Consequently, this species is widely distributed in Lithuania, but not abundant and only single individuals have been found.
