You're welcome Hehe I just knew it 'cause here in my region in Brasil they are kinda commom , thought they're not considered a pest. A curiosity is that his hame here is "water doggy", nothing to do with cricket haha and commom sense says his bite is really painful, that's why I see one and recognize "do not get close to it". Btw you should change his name and put his scientif name there!!

Thank you.. I used to have pest control license in my younger day and I just couldn't get my mind working this afternoon..
I was stuck on 'camel' or 'cave' cricket.. But was sure it was a Cricket of some kind.. But when I saw your message - I was like.... "Oh Yeah", how stupid I make myself feel sometimes.. :)
Age really messes with you when you need to remember things that use to be 2nd nature to you.... ☺
Thanks again, LeonardoLanna Really appreciate your help....
