Field cricket (likely a black field cricket)

Grasslands, gardens, lawns, leaf litter, and the edges of buildings; often sheltering in cracks or shallow burrows.

Mostly omnivorous, eating grasses, seeds, decaying plant matter, fungi, and small dead or weak insects.

Mostly nocturnal and capable of jumping; males produce courtship songs by rubbing their forewings together. Females deposit eggs in soil, and young nymphs resemble wingless adults.

Harmless to people and not venomous; occasional nuisance indoors and may damage seedlings in large numbers. They recycle organic matter and provide important food for birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals.
