I'm in Rhode Island and trying to figure out what this bug is. We find them mostly outside but have also seen a few in our home as well. It's about 1.75 cm from head to "tail" not including antennae or hind legs. Thanks for your help!

Do you hear ree-ree at night? It appears to be a cricket.

Thanks for answering, kwanjin. I do hear crickets outside in the evenings, but these do not look like the typical crickets I've seen around here.(field crickets) These crawl instead of hop and I haven't heard any chirping in the house.

Nevertheless, I still believe it is a cricket. We just need someone to tell us which one.
