Tamamushi

I just found a bug called a Tamamushi, it is a beautiful irredecent color, looks more like jewelry then insect. These are apparantly a very popular insect to collect in Japan. The bugs in Japan are all trying to migrate indoors, this is exciting in too many ways. I am not a fan of the centipedes, or the spiders, but the tamamushi are pretty cool.
