This is a common species on both coasts of Grande Terre and the Central Range, Loyalty and Belep Islands, Isle of Pines and Walpole
Island
. It is also known from
Australia
. This is a polyphagous predator in natural habitats but also rangeland and disturbed areas. Recorded prey are cicadellid larvae, psyllids [
Heteropsylla cubana
Crawford
,
Mesohomotoma hibisci
(Froggatt)
], aphids (
Cerataphis
spp.), and lepidopterous eggs [
Spodoptera mauritia
(Boisduval)
]. Its biology has been studied in
New Caledonia
by
Sallée & Chazeau (1985)
in the context of biocontrol usage against two aphids [
Rhopalosiphum padi
(Linnaeus)
and
Hyperomyzus lactucae
(Linnaeus)
]. To date, this species has not yet been promoted for biocontrol programs.
