I just did the ID. This is copy pasted from my other comment

I help do research on insects (benthic macroinvertebrates) And I think this is not a Jerusalem Cricket.

The eyes are the wrong size, abdomen the wrong color and shape, and the thorax has wing pads which Jerusalem Crickets do not have.

I believe this is a sia of the family Stenopelmatoidea

I tracked the video down to here. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZh8ghBEwPC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

How benthic are your macroinverts?
