Schistocerca alutacea prefers shrubby, moist to wet situations, including bogs, swamps, marshes, and thickets bordering mesic forests (Hubbell 1960).  Besides wet habitats, Squitier and Capinera (2002a) found that the species also prefers dry, sand hill.  In Florida, nymphs occur starting in May and adults can be frequently found in July and August (Squitier and Capinera 2002b).
