They are macropterous and capable of flight. The adult animals are always fully winged (macropterous). In "Teleogryllus", the proportion of macropterous individuals varies from very low to 100%. Members of this family are small, often macropterous, with a distinct wing-venation. Macropterous larvae, micropterous pupae and eggs are also present. Brachypterous females lay 300 to 350 eggs, whereas macropterous females lay fewer eggs. As yet no macropterous "P. otagoense" have been recorded. The macropterous forms are potentially migrants and are responsible for colonizing new fields. In Central European and Asian populations, such macropterous animals are probably completely absent. However, a macropterous form, f. diluta (described by Charpentier 1825) also exists. Most wing-dimorphic tettigoniids have a brachypterous (short-winged) form and a macropterous (long-winged) form. The macropterous individuals have an overall lower fecundity, or fertility, than the long-winged individuals.
