Checkered Beetle
Looks like a Checkered Beetle to me. Probably Enoclerus inchneumoneus.

Very interesting bug and nice photo
I'm quite the novice at bugging. My first photo posting of an Oil Beetle, I titled "Ant wasp beetle" -- because it seemed to have characteristics of all three. I think I would have titled this bug an "Ant spider beetle." :D (Even though it only has six legs, those legs sure look spider-like)--to a novice, anyway.
