google says it's a Meloe

Meloe is a genus of blister beetles commonly referred to as oil beetles. The name derives from their defensive strategy: when threatened by collectors or predators they release oily droplets of hemolymph from their joints. This fluid is bright orange and contains cantharidin, a poisonous chemical compound. [Wikipedia]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meloe')
Scientific name: Meloe
