Habitat:
Sorapagus catalaunicus inhabits various dry and warm, but occasionally also wet, mostly grazed sites that are rich in forbs or dwarf shrubs, such as pastures, fallow land, woodland margins and similar places between 500 and 2000m.

Life cycle:
The adults often occur in large numbers at least in Spain and are found between July and October on thistles, small shrubs and other plants. The short, sharp singing of the males easily draws attention to a population.

Remarks:
Sorapagus catalaunicus occurs from the French and Spanish eastern Pyrenees (in Catalonia also locally in the mountains south of Manresa) across the spanish Pyrenees westwards to Aragonia (Huesca).
