I found this ant like creature while visiting the Philippines recently.It is approximately 40mm in length.It was as curious towards me as i was.When i got close to it with the camera it would turn and run away.when i retreated it would turn and come towards me again.Is it an ant or a wasp?it has big eyes and what seems to be a mouth.
Sure it's an ant!
This appears to be a tiger beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae; subfamily Cicindelinae) - see http://www.kaefer-der-welt.de/tricondyla_aptera_aptera.htm and http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2048/2371052642_01141441fc.jpg?v=0 for representative images.
