What is this bug?

Found it in my back yard but I have never seen it before. Any ideas?

Could you please give a general location as this can help in identification? Thank you. :)

Minot, ND

It's a soldier beetle (family Cantharidae)...

That was one of my thoughts, but scouring through Bugguide I couldn't find anything quite like this. That's when I came back here and looked at their profile, saw their time was several hours ahead, so outside of the US.

Thank you! I found this bug in ohio.
