Very lucky orange speckled cricket

Gday all. I found this orange cricket today. He was being stalked by this long legged jumping spider. The spider circled it about 3 times and simply walked away . Typical, i really wanted to capture the destruction. I've never seen a cricket like this before and can't find ANY info on it. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Hope you enjoy.

Wow Mat, great catch, very interesting looking cricket, never seen one like it before

cool captures mat!
the spider probably thought it was poison,cause of the colours,and stayed away.

That's a great looking cricket, Mat. Very nice shots.

Nice shots. Lovely colors on this cricket!

Beautiful little cricket. I normally like to see a jumper get the meal, but that would have been a shame, in this case

I'm thinking the jumper sized up the cricket and decided "Meh, not enough meat."

Could the cricket be a katydid nymph? The head looks similar to katydid nymphs I've come across before.

I really like the jumper too.

What a gorgeous little creature - lovely shot of it too.

Have you done a google for katydid instead of cricket?

Beautiful cricket and a good capture. Love the colours.

Thanks for the comments all. LindaB i've done a google search and i've come close but can't find one with those markings on the legs as well. Thanks for your help all. He sure is a colourful one.

Wonderful captures- suprised the spider left the cricket/katydid. Maybe it thought it was too cute to eat

Super shots, what an amazing bug and the spider's not bad either.

I guess the colour is advertising "poisonous", I doubt the spider can see colour but might be able to pick up a smell?
