Biological notes: Meadows and wetlands, including the White sea intertidal and supralittoral zone, also agricultural fields. Larvae saprophytophagous, secondary invaders, develop in rotting tissues of plants: Poaceae including cereals, Cyperaceae and some other mono- and dicotyledons damaged by other insects. Hibernate as adults, e.g. under litter, in empty Lipara galls, plant stems or old bird nests.
