It is found in large parts of Europe. To the south, its distribution area extends to North Africa, and to the east to Central Asia and Pakistan. Adults feed on nectar. During mating, the females carry the male, which hangs upside down. The female lays the eggs one by one in the ground using her ovipositor. The larvae feed on the roots of herbaceous plants, and at night also on above ground parts of plants.

The thorax has yellow spots on the sides. There are 3 to 4 lemon-yellow horizontal stripes across the abdomen. The females have a bulbous abdomen that tapers towards the back and ends in a short ovipositor. The females have 13-segmented antennae, while the males have 19 segments.
