Is this what is known as the Toktokkie?
It would run along and then stop and tap its rear end on the ground and then move and repeat the process.

Joan found this one in our garden.
I would estimate its size to be 2-3cm.
After the photo session it flew off.
Is it a juvenile stick insect?

A member of the Fulgoridae family (Lantern Bugs, Snout Bugs; Planthoppers), in the genus Zanna. Some of the larger members of this family are spectacularly colorful and have the front of the head elongated into a hollow, horn-like projection often with extensions. In others, like the twig snout bug, Zanna, this extension, combined with the cylindrical shape of the folded wings, results in good camouflage by resembling the stub of a broken twig. They are mostly grey with black speckling.
Nice one,
