The Screaming Beetle!!!

[OldHag]

My 8yr old daughter came running in the house with this "Screaming Beetle". She caught it and it started squeeking at her. She wants to know what it is and Im clueless other than Ive seen them in the mountains on pine trees. :?
Any clue so I can be my daughters hero again

-Hello, maybe is a Longicornius beatle, some of them producing curious noises, and all of them have spectacular colour patterns, but I don´t know the exactly name of this specie on picture.
-Regards.
