Juvenile mole cricket I think.

hard to beat for bream and crappie bait. We used to go catch 'em at the service stations at night during the summer when I was a kid. They would be drawn to the lights I guess, but some places had hundreds of them. They always seemed to be plentiful at the same time the perch were biting... go figure...

These guys look nothing like the black cricketts and they're a lot bigger

Was walking out of Academy at 9pm on day and there were millions of these things under the lights around my truck. Don't know if it was mating day or what but from that day forward I "Man" knew what a mole cricket was.

Go look around a pond or water hole and turn over rocks along the edge. That's where I've always found them.

Looks like a chango to me! See them all the time around water...

Appears to be a mole cricket, as stated by several. If they're in a lawn, a pesticide with synthetic pyrethrins should kill them. (Bayer Complete Insect Killer, with imidocloprid and cyfluthrin, applied at 2-3 lbs. per 1,000 s.f.)
