Red Deer, Alberta, Canada

Size: 1 1/4"
Have see a few of these outside, after moving in to new house. The property has bushes, but none beside the deck where seen. It sticks to the shade and moves quite fast. It is black, has six to eight legs, approximately 1 1/4 inches long, six to eight legs in the top third section and what appears to be short horns at both ends.

Thanks
Thanks v belov, you wouldn't happen to know what type of beetle it willmorph into. There used to be plagues of what are called June Bugs here in Red Deer Alberta, large purplish and beige striped beetles. Will this become one of them?
