Note.
This species is widely distributed in
China
and common in artificial environments, such as fields or parks, but is not common in natural environments such as mountains. In northern
China
, the crickets are univoltine and they overwinter as eggs, which is similar to
V
.
aspersus
, but the latter species prefers mountains. In southern
China
, they are bivoltine or polyvoltine, and overwinter as nymphs. The different life cycle has been observed in
Zhejiang
Prov.,
China
, but individuals belonging to different life cycles do not mate with each other (
He & Takeda 2013
) and retain their own cycles. Thus, in
Zhejiang
, the adult niche is: in summer,
V
.
micado
(nymph overwinter
type
) in mountains; and in autumn,
V
.
micado
(egg overwinter
type
) in plains and

aspersus
in mountains.
