Abstract
Leptophyes punctatissima is a medium sized, flightless tettigonid. Adults emerge in late July after six nymphal instars. The peak of mating is during August and adults are active day and night. Previous field work on this species is limited, though a study by Duncan (1960) suggested that nymphs feed on low vegetation while adults move up into trees to mate. However, he did not identify individuals. My study of a population in an old apple orchard in northern Germany, in collaboration with David Robinson (Open University) and Juergen Rheinlaender (University of Frankfurt), aimed to monitor the movements of individually marked adults in three-dimensional space.
