Simple Summary In wing dimorphic insects, long-winged (LW) females were generally considered to be potential migrants, whereas short-winged females were considered sedentary. The aim of this research was to investigate the flight ability of LW females in the wing dimorphic crickets Velarifictorus aspersus and examine the effect of flight on ovarian development in LW females with different flight capacities. We provide the first evidence that flight ability varied among LW females, and the critical flight time for switching from flight to reproduction varied among LW V. aspersus female crickets...
