Devil's Coach Horse
Dear posthumen,
This lovely creature is a Rove Beetle known as a Devil’s Coach Horse. The threat posture is all show as the Devil’s Coach Horse has no stinger, however it does possess scent glands and it can release a foul odor. This European species has been introduced to the U.S. and we love them in our garden since they eat snails.

I just found one of these guys in my jeans front pocket. I live in the Colorado Springs Area.

Odd I have found no other stories of it being here in Colorado.
But “They’ree Hereee!” heh
