What kind of cricket is this?

Memphis, TN

I'm assuming it's a cricket, at least, but ours are mostly the dark, almost black, ones.

I can not be sure what kind but I worked in a pet store and we sold crickets. They looked just like that as they had shed there skeleton. (not sure how to say as they have their skeleton on the outside not inside. They are black with skeleton.

This is a true cricket in the family Gryllidae; perhaps a nymph of the house cricket, Acheta domesticus - see http://tinyurl.com/mzbymh for an image.
