Blue ground beetle.
Dont keep it go get a baby bird out of its nest or kidnap a young bird. That what people do here.

Europe? If so I guess Carabus intricatus.

If you want to keep it throw it into an enclosure with a few cm of soil, some hides and a bottlecap or something as a water dish. You can feed it earthworms, mealworms, grasshoppers and stuff, they sometimes eat a bit of tree sap and fruit too.

No, Turkey, central black sea.

OP here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carabus_scabrosus_tauricus
I think it's this one, but it says it's endemic to Crimea. I am right on the other end of Black Sea right now. Is it possible for this bug to be here? Climate is basically the same here and in Crimea.

There are a lot of Carabus that look very similar.

Carabus intricatus is much more likely, and their distribution is quite large.

Keeping Carabus is quite easy (except for the specialists). The move a lot so they need some room. Give it a place to hide during the day, like a piece of bark or wood and some stuff to climb at night, like more pieces of wood and feed it with other insects that are slightly smaller or about the same size as the beetle. Crickets or roaches should work best. They eat a surprising amount too, so be prepared for that. A small waterbowl completes the setup.

You shouldn't have to worry about temperatures or humidity as you're in its native range, so just put its enclosure outside but make sure to keep at least some of the substrate slightly moist.

That was my first thought. The are quite rare nowdays, even in forests/mountains. We call them zhuzhzhelyca.

It looks like an eastern tiger swallowtail caterpillar except brown and with weirder eyespots

That's the thing though. From what I've read way back when, you'd need like one or two dozen feeder insects for just one beetle, depending on species, PER DAY.

That's hardly feasible unless you want to spend half your day looking for food for them, or go to the pet or bait shop every couple of days.

Of Turkey only Thrace is in Europe, and as I said I am in Central black sea. "Close to Europe" is not Europe.
And we aren't culturally European either, if that's what you two are trying to say.

As long as I am in the village that's not gonna be a problem, dozens all kinds of bugs flock to the light at night and they die until morning so there are plenty of bugs to feed the guy.

The enclosure atm is a little small tho, would that be too dangerous, or can he handle it until I go down to town and get something bigger?

Because nobody before me tried to transliterate a fucking bug's name

When I think of Turkey or anything in that region I think Europe more than Asia. Are you saying Turkey is Asian? Doesn't sound right to me.

>>2414841
Geographically, definitely. More precisely middle east tho.

/his/ fag. culturally, Turks are Central Asian (that's were they come from), and pure native anatolians are another story, however Anatolia is Turkish as fuck so. for the record, I consider turkey in the Asian continent besides, as he said, Thrace.
fun fact: Hungarians are arguably more closely related to Turks than its surrounding cultures

>>2416840
it's not a matter of where we came from really, even if we were once from British Isles we are culturally middleeastern right now and geographically too, for the most part.
