This weird and wonderful creature looks like a giant ant but it's an Oil Beetle or Blister Beetle. I handled it carefully so it wouldn't release the chemical (cantharidin) that causes skin damage.

I bumped into this Japanese Weasel (itachi) during my morning walk. I was already standing still when he appeared so he didn't spot me and I had the chance to watch him sneaking around looking for prey. Nice experience.
