Galerita bicolor
My aunt sent me this picture. It's very poor quality I'm sorry for that. She lives in a wooded area surrounded by corn fields. Her house is prone to insect invasions, mostly stink bugs and spiders. I've never seen an insect like this. Any ideas??

She said it has a black head. We are going with false bombardier beetle. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction
Thank You!!
I'm not sure what this is but will guess it is a bombardier beetle in the subfamily Brachininae. These are really cool beetles with some very good defenses. Take a look at http://bugguide.net/node/view/16826/bgpa... for more information.
