My granddaughter found this one, it spit in her face. I think it is some sort of bomber but not sure which one. Anyone know?

This is Calosoma scrutator, a very beneficial ground beetle (Coleoptera; Carabidae) known as the fiery searcher or caterpillar hunter. See http://tinyurl.com/27cnnva for detailed information.
