English term or phrase: sunburst raspy cricket
The body of the sunburst raspy cricket body ablaze with all the colors of the sunset, But the happy hues aren’t matched by a sunny disposition. This robust bug has a mean streak a mile wide. With a whip like antennae, many times his own body length, are long range prey finders. Muscular hind legs deliver powerhouse kicks. Front legs lined with thorny spines hold victims in a death grip, while terrifying serrated mandibles tear and dismember.

grilo lobo
Explanation:
Apenas encontrei um nome vulgar para os "raspy cricket" e não em particular para o sunburst raspy cricket; assim é apenas uma sugestão baseada nesta referência. Pelo comportamento deles não parece ser a mesma espécie que o grilo camelo; é pena que não tenha o nome científico (que eu usaria neste caso)

In Portuguese, this type of raspy cricket is called grilo camelo (http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensifera). See the pictures in the following references, and compare to the bug featured in that episode.
