Neolygus viridis is a true bug. The species is found in the Palearctic, from Europe (with the exception of the southern parts of the Mediterranean) to Siberia and the Russian Far East, and it is common and widespread in Central Europe. It occurs in semi-shady to open places with high humidity, such as around the edges of woods or meadows, but also on isolated trees.
