This looks like a Glowworm Beetle, Genus Phengodes. I am not sure of the species in your area.

Not that big (1 1/2 inches from head to tail), but there are various variations of the same type of insect in the area and would like to know if I am justified in giving them a wide berth!

Looks terrifying how big is it?
