The females are slightly larger than the males and also have a 1 to 2 cm long ovipositor. In addition to the appearance, the “song” of the males, for which they use their forewings, is characteristic of the species. So-called stridulation organs are located there. When the males are sexually mature, they rub their forewings together, which are hardly or not raised at all. The resulting sound can be heard up to 150 m away. The eggs are deposited in the ground by the female using the laying stinger and overwinter there at least twice. At the end of April, tiny wingless grasshoppers hatch and molt several times as they grow until they are fully grown. The habitat includes bushes, meadows and forest edges with vegetation at least 30 cm high. The Green Hay Horse can also be spotted in the home garden and flies very well. But it usually only does this when it is startled. This typical startling gave the grasshoppers their name.
