Velarifictorus micado, the Japanese burrowing cricket, is a cricket in the subfamily Gryllinae (family Gryllidae).[1][2] It is found in southern Asia, along with an introduced population in the United States .[2] It was first reported in the United States in 1959, likely as overwintering eggs in the soil of imported plants, and has since spread all throughout the eastern half of the country.[3][4]
