There are some weird and wonderful creatures on Fuerteventura and I don't just mean those that hang around the bars!.

Here are just some of them:- If you know what they are or if you have a picture of a strange visitor to your house, let me know at edcase@furtenews.com so that we know whether we should be wary of them or not.

	No idea what this one is - found in Triquiviate, any ideas?
	This is a hummingbird hawk moth. It looks and sounds just like a hummingbird, but is actually a moth that feeds in the daytime. Spotted in Tamaragua.
	This caterpillar becomes the large and very beautiful Monarch butterfly - see below. This one was found in Tamaragua
	The Monarch Butterfly pupa
	Adult Monarch Butterfly - approx 3-4inches wind span
	Adult Monarch Butterfly showing the spots on its body
	Beetle found in Triquiviate
	Caterpillar found in Tamaragua - probably a type of sphinx hawk moth - note that this is nearly 4 and a half inches long!
	Pupa of the sphinx hawk moth
	Adult Hawk moth - found in central Corralejo - maybe the adult of the caterpillar above but only about 3 inches long, so what happened to the rest of it?
	Another hawk moth caterpillar? - found in Triquiviate - only about 2 inches long. The spike is on the back of the creature by the way.
	A type of Cicada or cricket? Not to be confused with the dreaded cockroach! - Found in Tamaragua
	Is this a cockroach? It looks like it but has a strange structure to its back- found in Triquiviate
