Description

It appears more or less on moist meadows, especially along waters and in the mountains, almost exclusively in areas where there is no great green bush-cricket. It resounds with a very loud steady chirp, the melody of which is constantly repeated. Only in very cold weather does the tune change (due to the slow movement of the wings). They have only six larval stages in development. In posterior levitating, the adult should shrink the hind thighs slightly.
