Myzia oblongoguttata occurs only in coniferous and mixed forests ( Sarmatic mixed forests) and in birch forest, birch taiga and montane Birch forest and grasslands and coastal conifer forests . Adults are found on Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies , Picea obovata, and Betula pendula, most frequently when they are producing pollen. They feed on aphids.
