Habitat:
Oropodisma macedonica inhabits medium-high altitudes with a mosaic of herb-rich, higher-growing and gappy, low-growing places in pastures, grasslands and similar biotopes.
Life cycle:
The adults appear from June. They often climb on herbs.
Remarks:
Oropodisma macedonica occurs on the western Balkan Peninsula. I observed it on mount Vitsi in Northern Greece (Kastoria/Florina).
