Cepero's Groundhopper

T. ceperoi naturally resides in warm places, in damp and bare areas of land. However, due to threatened natural habitats, T. ceperoi also can also be found living in dunes along shore lines, and in low and open vegetations. As T. ceperoi has evolved, it has also become capable of surviving in "floodplains, moist dune slacks, sand pits, drainage ditches or ponds". Adult T. ceperoi are skilled swimmers and therefore are not hindered by the large amounts of water in close proximity in flooded areas.

Subspecies: distribution. The Orthoptera Species File lists:

T. ceperoi ceperoi: from the coasts of the West Mediterranean area, Central Europe, Germany, Southern England and South Wales. T. ceperoi chinensis: records (probably incomplete) from eastern China and Thailand.

Conservation. T. ceperoi is becoming an endangered species in Central Europe due to "coastal protection and floodplain regulation". Therefore, It can only claim its true natural habitat in areas of the Wadden Sea Islands.

Habitat experiments. The question of the little-known habitat of T. ceperoi has come into greater study recently. Hochkirch et al. observed the reproductive interference between T. ceperoi and T. subulata, a neighbor and closely related species. …

The diet of T. ceperoi is composed of moss and various plants. The common mosses eaten by T. ceperoi include Bryum argenteum, B. caespiticum, Ceratodon purpureus and Barbula sp.. Less common diet choices include grasses, algae, and sometimes animal fragments and organic debris.
