Tree crickets are insects of order Orthoptera. These crickets are in the subfamily Oecanthinae of the family Gryllidae.

They live in trees and shrubs, for which they are well camouflaged. Like other species of cricket they produce their calling song by rubbing the ridges of their wings together. The chirp (or trill) of a tree cricket is long and continuous and can sometimes be mistaken for the call of a cicada or certain species of frogs.

Tree crickets feed on small insects, with aphids being one of their favourite meals. Eggs are laid in the fall, in a series of small holes drilled into the bark. After remaining dormant for the winter, the eggs hatch in the spring and the young tree crickets begin feeding on aphids. They may go through as many as twelve molts before reaching maturity around mid summer

The picture is a Snowy Tree Cricket for sure! But the sound is coming from a Variable Field Cricket. I could also see that this cricket here wasn't chirping at all, (no movement of the wings).

But nice video anyway! And nice information in the description!
