Kind of wildlife and related...
These little guys are all over the place and my Corgi puppies think they're tasty, crunchy snacks.
And I don't have a clue what this is. It's about 2" long and I've never seen anything like it.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?

I could be mistaken, but I think that may be a carpenter ant queen.

I believe it is a Meloe also called a Blister beetle or Oil Beetle.

My airstream has been stolen by dopers
I think CN nailed it! Although it looks like there are some variations in these guys the black meloe is probably what that is. Thanks!

Yep, it sure looks like it!
The head and thorax were throwing me.
That's a neat site, CN! Something to add to the rabbithole.

All of ours run around with their noses to the ground looking for tasty, tasty rabbit raisins. They just can't get enough of them. Gaahhh...

Bobcat?
I saw this guy walking straight towards me and thought it was a young mountain lion. Then he turned and I noticed the stubby tail. He walked into the weeds and a few seconds later I saw his head pop up and was swatting at something with his paw while jumping back. I'm guessing it was a snake of some sort. He walked up the embankment and disappeared.
Crappy, zoomed in pics from cell video but that's all I had.

Yep, bobcat
The only way to tell if it was a Canada Lynx or a Bobcat is to shoot it and then perform a necropcy.
