Bark Gnawing Beetle
Dear Leona,
This is a Ground Beetle in the family Carabidae, but we are not having much luck with the species. We will contact Eric Eaton for assistance, and perhaps one of our readers will know the answer.
Correction: One of our readers wrote in with a tip that this is a Bark Gnawing Beetle in the genus Temnoscheila based on images posted to BugGuide.

Hi Guys,
Posted 24 May 2009 at 4:22 pm ¶Bugguide has Bark-chewing beetles in the Genus Temnoscheila that seem to match this one! Have a great day and say Hi to the Angelfish for me.
My son picked up this same bug on our hike today. However, he did not get bit. We took a picture, and it was not easy to find the type of bug online.
I am glad you listed it.
