Pendunculate Ground Beetle - Scarites

Pendunculate Ground Beetle - Scarites
Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
July 17, 2005
Size: ~15 mm
I've purchased a small habitat container from the local pet store to photograph insects (particularly beetles) who never sit still in the wild for a decent shot, and it seems to be working quite well.

I captured this fella running through the sparsely grassy areas under our deck. I am basing the ID on other photos in the guide, and "Peterson's Field Guide to Beetles" (1), p.88.

are they dangerous or distructive?
I caught on of these inside my house in PA. Are they dangerous or distructive? Is there most likely more around here? If you could help, I would appriciate.
