Distribution and habitat

S. grossum is found throughout Europe, with a few records from western Asia. In the British Isles it is restricted to the New Forest, Dorset,and Somerset wells and Ireland. It is the largest species of grasshopper to be found in the British Isles.

The habitat is typically wet meadow and marsh throughout its range.[4] In southern England, the species is most often found in "quaking" sphagnum moss bogs.[2]

gollark: On my desktop anyway, not the laptop.

gollark: Windows would use >30GB, has ads everywhere, would likely take longer to boot, does not as far as I know do good full disk encryption, generally tends to run slowly and randomly use excessive resources for no reason, and I would *need to pay for it*.

gollark: My Arch install fits in 20GB or so, and I could cut it further if I actually cared, has no ads, boots in 25 seconds off my SSD to a usable desktop including time to enter my encryption key and password, and runs blazing fast.

gollark: e. g. stupid preinstalled bloatware.

gollark: There can be issues other than hardware and drivers.
