The Blue-winged Grasshopper occurs widespread in the coastal sand-dunes including the Wadden islands Texel, Vlieland and Terschelling. In the interior it occurs locally in heathland areas. It inhabits dry open dune areas, dry heath and inland sand-dunes. The inland colonies are often small and in decline, but in the coastal dunes the species seems to be stable.
