Formosatettix robustus

Grasslands and Prairies, Forests and Woodlands

The eggs of formosatettix robustus are typically laid in the soil or among decaying plant matter where they remain until they hatch. As nymphs, they are commonly found among grasses, low vegetation, or leaf litter where they have enough cover to evade predators and access to food. Seeking the nymphs would require searching through these habitats with a keen eye for their camouflaged presence. The adults prefer similar grassy areas or fields, but they can also be found on shrubs or low trees as they can climb to evade danger or to mate. To find adults, searching at slightly higher elevations on vegetation or during early morning when they are less active could prove successful.

The suitable time for finding formosatettix robustus usually corresponds with their active periods, which might vary depending on the temperature and light conditions. However, like many Orthopterans, formosatettix robustus is likely to be most active during the warmer parts of the day or year and might be easier to find during these times.

Formosatettix robustus might prefer warm and humid conditions, as is typical for many Orthoptera. Searching after a rain event, when the humidity is high and plants are wet, may increase the chances of locating formosatettix robustus.
