It's not "Gryllus assimilis" I think that it should be "Acheta testacea Walker" and I will change my description.

That's rather blurry, and your description says there are 900 species of crickets. Are you certain that is Gryllus assimilis? A quick Google tells me that species is native to Jamaica and the West Indies, but has also made it to Florida.

In order to receive extra credit, you'll need to support your identification.
