Happened upon a stoat this morning, unfortunately it ran off very quickly. Not seen one in the wild before. 
 

otherwise caught this little fella on camera. Spotted long horn beetle.  Thought it looked great.

A fly parasitic on some species of moth caterpillar.  Apparently has some potential for pest control in forestry

I think they all get together for winter. Same here in and around the woods over my way. Busy on the roads at night this time of year.
