You might try putting a crumpled peice of newspaper in an easy to reach spot, the cricket will like to hide in the folds of the paper and you can probably just pluck it out then.

try to take a paper towel rool and block one end then put a peice of food in the the tube towards the coverd end and place the rool in the cage with the open end towards a visual spot. everyonce in a while take a flashlight and look into the tube from outside the tank. if the cricket is in there cover the open end of the tube with your hand and take the tube out.

if he is an adult...you could just wait him out...he will probably die within a week
