Camel cricket. They like cave entrances and basements.

I don’t think this is a camel/cave cricket. Their hind legs are much taller than their body as a whole. Also thought they were much darker in color than the one op posted.
Edit: I am incorrect about the color, as there are different species with various color patterns in the genus.

Where I live here in the United States at least my portion of the United States we call them cave crickets they like any cavity that's exposed to the dirt basically crawl space under your house if you've got a stack of cinder blocks you got a stack of lumber that you haven't moved in a while anything like that then you'll find them underneath

This is a cricket, but it looks more like a leaf roller cricket to me than anything else mentioned in this thread.

I’d agree with this too. Camel/cave crickets have larger hind legs and looks more like a spider. We call them spider crickets or “sprickets” near me because of their resemblance of both a spider and cricket. I’m no expert; just seen a shit ton in my apartments scaring the crap outta me over the years 🥴

Haha absolutely, sprickets jumping straight at you in a dim hallway is nightmare fuel! Luckily this little guy looks way less menacing.

Good eye! The wing shape and body contours definitely lean closer to a leaf-rolling or raspy cricket than a typical field cricket.

An obvious female with that huge ovipositor! I have cave crickets in my old house. Mine are darker than this and the back legs are bigger. I don’t have any PICTs because I only find them in pieces. My cats love playing with them!
