Mt. Takao is considered one of the three major habitat of insects along with Minoo (Osaka prefecture) and Kibune (Kyoto prefecture) and it has long been loved by researchers of insects because of number of species and the easy access from the Metropolitan area. There are many insects first found in Mt. Takao and named after "Takao" such as Takao Shachihoko （Hiradonta takaonis Matsumura） and Takao medaka kamikiri (Stenhomalus takaosanus).
They live widely in main land Honsyu, Shikoku, Kyusyu.
Among Tettigoniidae, they choose to inhabit at bushes in low ground and mountain areas, and at in green tracts of land around forest, which are rather higher places.
The entire boy color is green with its back brown colored and like being one stripe.
Wings are the same green as the body color.
Imagines begin to appear in last decade of June, when their unique chirping can be heard ‘Buzzing’.
As their larvae are herbivorous, their main bait is leaves of grass and pollen of flowers, but as they grow up the imagines gradually become more and more carnivorous so that they occasionally attack insects as large as themselves to get to eat.
Therefore, their legs have such many sharp spines as they catch insects to eat.
●Length about 30 to 40 mm
●Adult Flight Season June to about September
