Nemobiinae or Trigonidiinae - Gryllus pennsylvanicus - male

Nemobiinae or Trigonidiinae - Gryllus pennsylvanicus - Male
Virginia, USA
August 30, 2007
Size: 20 mm
Can somebody tell me the genus and species of this guy? My mom found this in her school and brought it home so I could take a picture of it for my school project. I believe it is a male because it doesn't have an egg depositor on its rear. I've kind of made a pet of it for now, I'll release it in a day or two. I gave it lettuce, which it started eating right away, and I gave it a piece of honeydew melon which it's been enjoying, so it's a vegetarian , if that helps in identification. It was been chirping short, high-pitched chirps tonight. It was really neat to see how crickets can chirp just by rubbing their wings together! I would relly appreciate it if someone could help in identification, thank you!
