Pyrgomorpha is the type genus of grasshoppers in the family Pyrgomorphidae and the tribe Pyrgomorphini. Species are found in Southern Europe, Africa and the middle East, through to India and Mongolia

Habitat:
Pyrgomorpha cypria inhabits extensively managed habitats of all kinds. It is especially typical for garigues, coastal areas and mountain slopes.

Life cycle:
Most often the larvae are the hibernation stage. The adults usually appear from late February. But adult hibernations are as well reported. But in November 2016 I only recorded larvae. The adults are most common in April and May where they are often the most common species in their habitat.
