Found in extensive rock piles on talus slopes in Pinyon-Juniper oak woodland.
Life cycle:
Probably one generation per year.
Season:
Adults heard singing from May to June.
Remarks:
Gryllus chisosensis is hard to collect because it is uncommon and because it retreats into deep rock piles when disturbed. As observed in other rock-chirping crickets, G. chisosensis may continue to sing while retreating. Two orthopteroid species that are also restricted to the Chisos Mountains are the walking stick Diapheromera torquata Hebard and the katydid Paracyrtophyllus escelsus (Rehn and Hebard).
