Habitat:
Acrometopa cretensis inhabits the garrigue and other warm sites from the coast to medium altitudes.
Life cycle:
The adults appear from mid-May (e.g. in Naxos 2025 near the coast). In Crete I met a female still in mid-October 2025. Usually the animals should mostly disappear in summer drought, e.g. in the course of August.
Remarks:
Acrometopa cretensis occurs in Crete and in the Cyclades Islands (including Naxos and in the north up to Andros) east and northeastwards to the islands of Ikaria and Karpathos.
