appears to be a Neocurtilla hexadactyla nymph
Only other possibility in RI would be Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa, but I don't think there are any records from there, and the habitat points more to Neocurtilla anyway. Maybe you can find adults at the same locality? Awesome find, I've never seen this species!

Also first mole cricket from RI on BG!

Moved from ID Request.

 
Thanks
I'm going back to the same location this afternoon to release it but I doubt I'll see one during the day. I'm leaving the island on Sunday so I think it'll have to wait for next year.
