Sorry for the bad quality of this photo, but I had to feature the owner of those amazing antennae. Can anyone give me a hint of its ID?

Remembers me of a Lampyridae, Firefly. But there are even longhorn beetle which mimics fireflies (your is definitely not a beetle!). I only know Photinus sp. from Costa Rica.
