We had this guy in the tent last June. 

He was about half the length of a ballpoint pen, and quite hefty.  He landed on my coffee-cup and had some quality time with us before hopping off about his buggy business.  We thought the martians had landed, but I had to get a photo of him!

FoO

I never did manage to identify him.  Not a grasshopper, for sure; too big for that, and had different legs and head.  And he seemed to have wings, as he took off with a buzz and we didn't see him land anywhere nearby.  Yet he looked just like a really big beetle.  A very fine beast indeed!

Bugs of all sorts don't bother me, but I wouldn't like to sleep without an inner tent. We woke up to a sparrow in the outer tent last month. By the time I'd pushed OH out to deal with it, it'd found a way out, but not before pooing all over the inner tent. Got it off with a sponge and some warm water but I've never been more thankful for its protection.
