It is present in Europe, North Africa and Asia. These beetles are abundant in shady, moist forest edges. The adults can be found from May to September. They prefer flowers exposed to the sun or the foliage of low plants. The larvae develop in rotting wood of deciduous trees, feeding on small invertebrates.

The upper side is often covered with dense red hairs. Its head has a trunk-like protuberance, which is not found in any other Central European species of its family.
