Large insect in Oregon - Pleocoma

Large insect in Oregon - Pleocoma
Salem, Marion County, Oregon, USA
October 22, 2016
Size: about 1 inch long
My dog attempted to eat it and flipped it over on its back, where it couldn't get up itself until i nudged it back right-side-up with a stick. The underside was all orange-y colored.

Female Pleocoma
Alle, you have a Female Pleocoma Beetle ! I will have to check some material to nail down species. Rick , Brady, or Louis can pin down . Very Nice ! Cheers ! Gene St. Denis Sierra Nevada Research

Moved, Pleocoma sp.
there are others on BG that can probably give you a species name.

Moved from ID Request.
