Habitat:
Acrida ungarica lives on steppe-like, very dry, grassy and only sparsely grown places mostly in lower altitudes. I observed Acrida ungarica very numerous in a small stripe meadow at the coast near the Olympus mountain in Greece. This place was threatened by rubbish, parking and driving cars etc.

Life cycle:
Acrida ungarica occurs as adult quite late between July or August and October/November.

Endangerment factors:
Because of overbuilding and tourism (especially in coastal areas) even this in the Mediterranean otherwise not demanding species is locally already endangered.

Remarks:
Acrida ungarica occurs in the Mediterranean region and can be observed very locally to the north as far as the steppe-remants of eastern Austria and Hungary.
