Thanks for your suggestion ForestDragon. It seems to be a 'leaf runner cricket' and that is exactly what it was doing. I have found a link but not a definitive match.

Hi Martin. This is a really cute little cricket. She reminds me of Crickets in Genus Trigonidium. I did a brief search but I haven't been able to find a match. There don't seem to be many photo references online for these guys.

Perhaps a place to start a search. That's all I have for you at this time, hope it helps.
