The females of this fine species are not uncommon in upland 

 meadows, and along fence rows. The males are, however, seldom seen, 

 probably on account of their smaller size and duller colour.

 The full-grown individuals of this species are more common in May 

 and June than those of any other grasshopper, as its larvae hibernate, 

 whereas most other species pass the winter in the egg state. It frequents 

 dry, open woods and roadsides, where the half-grown young can be seen 

 jumping vigorously about on any warm sunny day in winter.

 Grasshopper.
