Enoclerus ichneumoneus
This beetle mimics the red velvet ant wasp (which is what I originally thought it was). Adult beetles look for larval or adult bark and ambrosia beetles to feed upon as they travel up and down tree trunks.
Wooded area
This beetle was scurrying up and down a tree at a very rapid pace and as it was often in shadows, I couldn't focus so well.
