They can be encountered from mid July through October mainly in mountain habitats, in moist grasslands, shrubs and bushes, forest clearings, cultivated areas, sunny roadsides, etc. They mainly feed on other insects, but also on vegetable foods. The basic coloration of the body is usually green, with a brown stripe on the back. These grasshoppers hardly fly, their wings are shorter and wider than in the other ''Tettigonia'' species, only slightly covering the end of the abdomen. The ovipositor of the female extends beyond the tip of the wings. Adults are active from noon till night and males are detectable by their characteristic and pleasant singing (hence the Latin name ''cantans''). The females lay eggs in moist soil. ==External links== * (Fauna Europaea ) * (Orthoptera Species ) * (Orthoptera ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tettigonia cantans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
