Sorry no help on IDing

But if you have males & females together chances are they'll mate & do their thing all on their own

Keep an eye on them
If you see the females poking their ovipositor in the soil
More than likely they're depositing eggs

When I had more pets
&
Use to breed crickets
I would keep them in a large plastic rubbermaid bin
Filled with egg crates / No substrate
&
Would put a few containers filled with moist soil in with them / For them to lay their eggs in

After a few hours or days
I'd remove the containers with the soil to another bin with a heat pad under it
&
Just wait for them to hatch

Do a GOOGLE search on Breeding or Raising Crickets
There's quite a bit of info out there on the subject

Hope That Helps
&
The Best Of Luck

May be wrong
But judging from your pic
I'd say you have 3 females & 1 male

The top 3 being females
&
The bottom 1 being a male

Do you you see how the top 3 have 3 appendages protruding from their abdomen / Yellow dot
&
The bottom 1 only has 2
Unless I don't see it or it doesn't show up in the pic

The 3rd appendages in the center {yellow dot) is an ovipositor / What females lay eggs threw

umm the one uppermost has 3 appendanges the one below (middle) is the subadult posted above. The other has only 2 appendages not to be confused the others are just a part of the wing. i checked their cocopeat and still no eggs are present these crickets were obtained 2days ago. place in the enclosure just ystrday :)

This is what I'm going by / Trying to determine sex by

At any age sub adult or not females have an ovipositor (pic 1)
I don't see an ovipositor on the bottom 1 (pic 2)
At least not one that shows in the pic

Ovipositors are clearly viable on the top 3
Making them Female

Just My 2 Cents Worth

So what are you going to be using these crickets for? Feeders? Honestly looks like something we'd use as fishing bait around here :p
