extremely quickly, causing the visible portion of the grasshopper to shift from camouflage (~100% brown) to contrast (50+% black-and-yellow) and roughly double in size in less than 9 ms; when landing, the reverse transition occurs in less than 15 ms. Due to these rapid transitions, human observers may see the grasshopper as appearing and disappearing instantaneously. Additionally, during flight, the hindwings transition ~6 times per second between pauses and periods of active wing-beating, during which the wings beat over 30 times per second. This creates an unstable, confusing image. Because of their large size and rather lazy bobbing flight, they are often mistaken for a butterfly, especially the mourning cloak

As temperatures rise, they climb on to vegetation until they are 2.5–7.5 mm above the substrate and face into the sun so that only the front of the head is exposed to the rays and the rest of the body is in shade. In the afternoon the adults bask again on bare ground from about 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. after which they walk or fly to seek shelter, usually under canopies of grasses.

If attracted, the female moves towards the male, and when she is close enough he approaches her and mounts. If he is acceptable to the female they copulate and may remain copulated for as long as 16 hours.

The female selects compacted bare ground which is exposed to the sun in which to oviposit, often the edge of a gravel or dirt road.
