Nice shot.
That cricket is actually a skipper - a type of butterfly. Thought you would like to know.

It's hard ot tell from this shot, but look at orange skipperling or southern skipperling. This is the closest I can get with Kaufman's Butterflies of North America. Skippers are usually hard anyways, since sometimes all that will tell some species apart will be just one spot.
