Hi
It is Trigonidium cicindeloides, a tiny cricket that inhabits vegetation close to channels, rivers and other wet areas. This species is very overlooked because of its size and habits. In the Iberian Peninsula it is known from the Mediterranean coast, the south and most of Potugal. If from Barcelos, your finding would be one of the most northerly for Portugal!
Regards
Miquel

I forgot, you can get more information about the status of this species in Portugal from:
Grosso-Silva, J.M. (2000) - Contribui?ao o conhecimiento dos Grylloidea (Orthoptera, Ensifera) de Portugal
which is available on-line at http://www.sea-entomologia.org/

Many, many, thanks Miquel
. I could say that this is not a rare species in Barcelos.
