It is found from Fennoscandia south to the Vosges mountains and from Britain eastwards through the mountains of Central Europe into Yugoslavia and European Russia.[8][9] The habitat is deciduous and conifer forest. Flowers visited include white Umbelliferae Cochlearia, Crataegus, Euphorbia , Fragaria, Menyanthes, Ranunculus, Salix, Stellaria, Taraxacum and Vaccinium.
