I'm guessing at the ID. It sounds like there are 2. One doesn't stop making noise, the other seems to have 2 pitches.

Found this in Friendly Village a week ago. I have called this a flying ground cricket but have seen no reference to it in any orthoptera guides. Had first seen them in Columbus, Ohio in 1969. Since then in Toledo, Ohio and now Perrysburg. I have seen them fly before also. This one didn't get a chance.
Really tiny bug (approx. 1 cm high), very long antennae (approx. 6 cm), really big song. Possibly singing to attract a mate, as it was singing and moving through bushes by the riverside, and was seen singing on a leaf while another similar looking bug sat under the same leaf .

Do I have the genus right? Reminds me of Carolina ground cricket from Colorado, but is the carrier frequency too low? Temp 66 F.
On a rocky outcropping at the edge of oak woodland.
At Occoquan National Wildlife Refuge near the shore in a weedy area land side of the path.
