Hoplosphyrum boreale
Looks like a nymph of this species to me. In the subfamily Mogoplistinae.

ID
It would be very helpful for anybody that visits this page to have some info on how this ID was arrived at. Did an expert ID'ed or is there a reference somewhere?

ID
Please, Stephanie, try to substantiate the ID (Acheta domesticus), otherwise let us move it to the family level. Eric suspected another ID that is not only a different species but a different genus.

Nymph, female.
This is definitely the nymph of some kind of gryllid, and a female as evidenced by her ovipositor. My bet would be on the Indian house cricket.
