In Central Europe this beetle lives in the grass layer and detritus, feeding on scale insects , aphids and, especially Psocoptera. It occurs also in marshes, including peatbogs, on marshy shores, in meadows, at wet forest edges, in flood-plain forests, and also in dry habitats such as karst, sandy and stone quarries, wastelands, and in fields. This is a rather rare species.[5]
