The kabutomushi, also known as the Japanese rhinocerus beetle, is a popular pet in Japan. When wandering around downtown Nagoya a few months ago, I found a little shop that sold only beetles. Inside the store some of the beetles were larger than my hand, and they sold for up to ¥20,000 ($200). The shop clerk refused to allow me to take pictures inside, so I snapped a picture of the shopfront.
