Distribution
AT, BE,
CH
, DE, DK-DEN, ES-CNY, FI, FR-FRA, GB-GRB, GB-CI, GB-NI, HU, LU, NL, NO-NOR, PL, PT-MDR, PT-POR, SE, UA. Extended Atlantic. – Also North Africa (
Algeria
,
Tunisia
), introduced into Siberia and the Australian, Neotropical and Nearctic regions.
Habitat
Strongly synanthropic over most of its known range, found in botanical and other gardens, parks, cemeteries, horticultural nurseries, greenhouses, farms, in hay, on spoil heaps, quarries, scrub, in refuse on waste ground. There was an infestation of house walls in
Belgium
(
Kime, 2004
).
Haacker (1968)
found that it spread into surrounding woodland in West
Germany
, that it preferred high humidity and ate mainly leaves. Found in woodland litter in
Portugal
as well as
Germany
. In laurisilva with tree heather at
800–900 m
on Tenerife (Monte de las Mercedes).
Remarks
Schubart (1934)
thought that the species was probably introduced into northern Europe from the Mediterranean, and its occurrences on the Canary Islands and Madeira are certainly also due to introduction. However, while it occurs in North Africa, there are no records from
Italy
or continental
Spain
and only two or three from
France
, in western and central parts – Finistère (
Blower 1987
), Nièvre (
Jawłowski 1933b
), and possibly Vienne departments (a female). It may have been overlooked in the past because of known confusion with similar species, especially
C. parisiorum
and
C. arborum
. We have not shown on our map records from Göteborg and Piteå in
Sweden
,
Buskerud
in
Norway
, southern
Finland
, and
Kiev
in the
Ukraine
because these are from greenhouses.
