Are these two different cricket species or mutation?
The cricket on the left is bigger than the other with a bigger belly, has longer-bigger thighs and smaller antennae. It's chirp goes like "chirp...chirp...chirp" while the cricket's on the right chirp sounds like "chiiiiiiirpchiiiiiiirpchiiiiiiirp" and in higher octave (more like field's cricket chirping).
Any suggestions?

Ha ha. Both Acheta domestica. Male is on the left, female on the right (you can see her ovapositor).

How the heck did you get that picture? Freeze them? Glue them down?

In england they sell black crickets. Big heads, very shiny, easy to breed in small numbers...... Oh well

Yes but these crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus) have a hard exoskeleton and also big jaws comparative to the head that can heart any small lizard.
