Habitat:
Oedipoda coerulea inhabits rocky, dry places up to about 2900m (e.g. S-Spanish Sierra Nevada).

Life cycle:
The adults usually occur between June/July and November. They communicate partly optically via their contrasty whitish hind knees/tibia.

Remarks:
Oedipoda coerulea occurs in the Iberian Peninsula, the adjacent and Pyrenees-near S-France, the Balearic Islands and reputedly also the Azores.
