Cricket?? - Gryllus
Indiana, USA
I saw this on the wall and took the photo thinking it was a standard black cricket. I did a search for cricket on here and didn't find any with amored segemnted hind like I see here.

I thought I'd post and see what it was..

Species identification
I think this is a field cricket (Gryllus campestris) nymph.

Field Cricket.
I agree it is in the genus Gryllus, is an immature male (no ovipositor), but species are almost impossible to determine, and there are many more species than previously thought.

Immature cricket
They don't get wings till their final molting.
