How big is it? Looks quite small based on the cricket. I will say young male based on the shape of the abdomen.(which seems a bit disfigured at the rear)

It has 2.5cm body lenght. I can take another photos but tell me what kind of photo must I do to better sexing?

A photo with the entire contour of the abdomen visible. But from those two photos it is just about 100% male. It seems to have an odd bulge at the base of the abdomen that is making it asymmetric, however.
