We’re in Portland, Oregon and have never seen this bug before. Although it looks beatle-ish in these photos, the black part are wings. Found it at about 10 p.m. – it was flying toward the light. Can you ID?

Hi Elisa,
You are right about this being a beetle. It is an adult male Glowworm in the family Phengodidae.
