This species is among the least common of the Orthoptera 

 of the region. Two females were beaten from the leafy 

 branches of a hawthorn shrub in a partially cleared, brush- 

 grown ravine at the edge of the Warren Woods Preserve, 

 and one from a raspberry bush among the trees on the margin 

 of a forested ravine in the same vicinity. Two others were 

 seen in the latter situation, but both escaped. A single female 

 was found near the inner margin of the dunes, resting in a 

 sandy road running through an open forest of oaks and aspens, 

 and bordered by roadside vegetation of grasses and vines. 



Hancock records having taken a female of this species on 

 one occasion at Lakeside in August.

This species is common along the roadsides and fence-rows 

 on tall herbaceous plants and bushes in the latter part of the 

 season. Specimens were also taken on tall plants in cultivated 

 iields, on low bushes and goldenrod in a moist meadow pas- 

 ture, and among tall grass in a dry bluegrass pasture on the 

 AVarren Woods Preserve ; it was also fairly common in a 

 ravine sedge marsh on the preserve, among the tall grass and 

 sedge clumps. Two males were taken among the bunch grass 

 in the Sawyer Dunes, on vetch and grapevines. 



This species is recorded by Hancock as having been taken 

 at Lakeside in August and on September 18.
