Inundated with crickets this year. Sincerely hope Lyroda subita go forth and multiply. Thanks for the ID.

Sphecidae: Larrinae?
Hard to tell from these images, but I strongly suspect it is a sphecid wasp in the subfamily Larrinae. Legs don't look long enough to be a pompilid, and the pygidial plate is very obvious, which is characteristic of Larrinae.

 
Many thanks
Thanks for the ID Eric.
