Habitat:
Apteromantis aptera inhabits especially grassy pastures, woodland margins, garigues and open scrub.

Life cycle:
The larva hibernates. The adults appear from late April. The animals stay in the grass or on herbs most often near the ground. They run away in danger when camouflage does not suffice.

Remarks:
Apteromantis aptera occurs in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula (S-Portugal, S-Spain, very rarely also central Spain).
