In central Europe this is a rather widespread and
common species in mature deciduous woodlands. It is found as far south
as northern Spain where I've never found it and northern Greece. It
prefers sunny spots in woodland that is otherwise dark or with only
dappled sunlight. It loves bramble blossom and can often be found in
good numbers feeding at this plant. |
