What is this? It has been sitting on the umbrella for about 10 minutes and seems quite happy there in the sun.

It's an oversexed, shortsighted Stick Insect on Steroids. ;) ( I think )
-
It looks like a species of grasshopper. The "spike" on the rear is her ovipositor.

"Hit it with a stick!"

Grasshoppers and crickets are related and together with the katydids and locusts, make up the Order Orthoptera (meaning 'straight wings' ;).

And here's its nemesis.

We thought it was a cricket, but on a close look we thought not. It sat next to Phil for such a long time. At the same time I saved a bee from the pool and we watched it on the ground drying ot. I have it some sugar water to revive it.
We had an "insect afternoon". Now we are looking after a stray puppy that someone has dumped outside. Lovely little doggy and there is a mark around her neck where a collar has been. Such a shame. She is sleeping on a bed on the patio kindly proved by our lovey neighbour Ingrid, who has left food and water for her.
If any expats are looking for a puppy here she is.

I saw the post earlier on FB - thank you so much for giving this wee one a safe place to stay.

No problem Cleo. We love her, she is so friendly, how could anyone dump her. Just checked on her now, still comfy on her bed and fast asleep. W

She's gorgeous - beautiful little thing.
I do hope she finds a loving owner quickly.
Devon's a bit far for her to travel.
Please let us know how she fares.

She is now with our Dutch neighbour's who are going to keep her for a couple of months while she has her injections and see how it goes from there. I know they will do their best to find a good home for her, she will need a lot of care and attention and exercise. However, I hope, with time they may decide to keep her.
