Adults occur year-round and are active from May until late summer; they are nocturnal predators but may also be active during the day, walking among moorland vegetation or across sphagnum bogs. They occur in permanently damp environments, among litter on heather moors, among peat bogs or in shaded woodland; on the continent they are sometimes common in dense, dark pine forests. The species is flightless and disperses by walking, breeding occurs in the spring and early summer and larvae develop through the summer producing new-generation adults late in the year.
