A nymph with wing buds. When adult some can be identified to species.

Thanks for the explanation, Roger. Hopefully I'll have an opportunity to see an adult cricket, but since it's taken me years to see this nymph, I'm not holding my breath!

Go out with a torch at night when they emerge to feed especially on tree trunks and branches

Also turn over a few logs, some live in tunnels under leaves

A great find, I've been hoping to see leaf, wood or raspy crickets for years and still haven't seen one. I've even had a few trips out at night with no luck.

Finding them is largely opportunistic. Your time will come!
