camel cricket
These abdominal appendages are very weird compared to anything I've seen in person. I'm pretty sure it's a camel cricket in the genus Gammarotettix.

Thanks!
I've added two more views of this cricket, including a close up of the appendages, in case they help with ID. The antennae appear to be separated at the base, which led me away from camel cricket, but I'm sure you're correct.
