Habitat
The Oecanthus fultoni, also known as the Snowy Tree
Cricket can be found in many parts North America. Within the
United States, the only states the Snowy Tree Cricket is not
found would be Montana, Mississippi and Florida. They can also
be found in Quebec, British Columbia and Ontario (Bugguide.net).

been found, view

The Snowy Tree Cricket can mainly found on shrubs and plants,
such as those that grow in gardens and vines that grow along the
sides of houses. They are also found on many species of trees
with broad leaves as well as fruit trees (Entnemdept.ufl.edu).
The Snowy Tree Crickets tend to dwell in areas like these
because they are close to their food source (see
Nutrition). The Snowy
Tree Crickets also use these shrubs, plants and trees as a way of
protection. The offspring of Oecanthus fultoni also live in the same
habitat while they are growing from adolescence to adulthood
(Bugguide.net).
They will not typically be found in grasses since the grass
lacks food and protection.
