Notes
A very common species in north-western Europe during the regular flying season, but rarely found hibernating (compare to I. sarcitorius ). This may demonstrate hibernation is facultative or highly specialised. It has never been found directly below bark, all four reports on dead trees being below entire tree trunks (often highly rotten), stuck between the soil and the wood and, thus, similar to the niche below stones (where it has been reported the most). Some additional reports exist from litter and decaying vegetation. One report from grass tussocks by Morley (1903). It is noteworthy this is the sole report of this species in hibernation before 2017.
Status: Confirmed.
Records: Belgium (4), Germany (1) *, Italy (3) *, Sweden (1) **, the Netherlands (6), United Kingdom (1).
First record: Ca. 30. XI. 1903 ( Morley (1903), United Kingdom).
Hibernacula: DT (5), DV (4), LV (1), O (1), S (6), U (2).
Sources: Morley (1903), Verheyde and Quicke (2022); Unpublished: Artportalen, iNaturalist, Observation. org.
Also mentioned in: Constantineanu (1959), Rasnitsyn (1964).
