I found this insect on my window and have never seen anything like it. Has anyone seen it before? This was found in Missoula, MT around 10 am.

This is a checkered beetle in the family Cleridae; likely Enoclerus sphegeus, known as the red-bellied checkered beetle - http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?enlarge=1111+1111+2222+1701 It is predaceous on other insects.
