That’s weird. It’s female and gravid. It might be a Slender Crab Spider, Tibellus Oblongus https://bugguide.net/node/view/303064 The abdomen looks like family Anyphaenidae https://spiderid.com/spider/anyphaenidae/ and the cephalothorax has Wolf Spider markings. She might have been feeding on the crickets. Do you know the country or state of origin?
I believe we get our crickets from an in state (NH) cricket farm, where they would get any stock of there own I would not know.
I had no idea we have cricket farms, but it makes sense, there is a lot of demand. Did you keep her as a pet?
