The species is found in the Palearctic. It is found in Europe from the North edge of the Mediterranean to southern Scandinavia. Further east, the distribution extends east across the Palearctic to Central Asia and Siberia.

Nabis rugosus is an active predator of almost any smaller insect, hunting on the ground, and in the higher layer of herbs, rarely in the shrub layer. This species is almost always brachypterous, the forewings reaching the end of the abdomen, or stopping just short of it.
