The Calliptamus species are known as short horned grasshoppers. (The similarity of grasshoppers, makes some species difficult to identify, hence the BTB (believed to be) before this species name). Calliptamus barbarus does has a variation of colour forms, which can make it difficult to identify sometimes.
This is a common grasshopper, found mainly in Southern Europe. As far south as some North African countries.

Feeds on a variety of grasses, herbs and plants. Will also feed on small insects.
Grasshoppers hatch in the Springtime, mature quickly to breeding status and will die, in the same year.
