Habitat:
Poecilimon thoracicus inhabits luxurious mountain meadows and forb communities. I met it in Bulgarian Pirin mountains in around 2000m asl.
Life cycle:
The adults appear in high altitudes in summer (July to September).
Remarks:
Poecilimon thoracicus occurs in the Balkan Peninsula (south to N-Greece) and in Turkey.
