It is found in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain, Poland, Albania, Serbia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, North Macedonia, Romania, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Baltic region, Belarus, Ukraine and Russia.[1]
The wingspan is 8–12 mm. Adults have been recorded on wing from May to June.[2]
