Does anyone know what this is please? Spotted this morning while I was walking down a track just back of where I live in Albufeira. I have never seen anything looking like this. I would say it was about 5cm (2″) long. It was moving slowly but fairly steadily, pausing to rummage around in the gravel. A few seconds later is vanished into some long grass.

Tom.
If you look up Mole Cricket on Google images it would appear to be like that bug in your photo.

Mole cricket indeed it is. No surprise we don't often see them, living underground as they do. Never heard of such a thing until now.
