It is found in Great Britain, Spain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Greece, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Baltic region and Russia.[2] It is also found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alberta and Washington.[3] The habitat consists of high moors and mountainous areas.[4]
