For capturing alpine dark bush-cricket, a standard approach is using food bait that appeals to their diet, typically including various plants, seeds, and sometimes small insects. They might also be attracted to artificial light sources at night.

The eggs of alpine dark bush-cricket are typically deposited in the soil or plant tissues providing protection and moisture necessary for development. The nymphs can often be found in grassy areas or amongst the foliage where they feed and grow, gradually resembling the adults through successive molts. Adult alpine dark bush-cricket are primarily found in meadows, grasslands, and sometimes gardens, where the vegetation is dense enough to support their feeding habits and offer concealment from predators. Searching for these insects requires carefully inspecting such environments, gently turning over leaves, and sifting through ground cover, paying particular attention to the preferred plants and soil conditions to maximize the chances of observation at various stages.

The best time to find adult alpine dark bush-cricket would be during their active periods which often occur at dusk or at night when they are most vocal and more easily detected by their characteristic sounds.

Warm and dry conditions are the most suitable weather for finding alpine dark bush-cricket as these creatures are thermophilic and their activity level increases with higher temperatures.
