Research the Glowworm Beetle, Phengodidae species in your area. They have these features :)

What a marvelous exaggeration of the antennal structures! This looks like a beetle of the Family Phengodidae (Glow Worm Beetles) since the larvae of these often have light producing organs.
Carly Brooke
Wow, incredible! Anybody have any ideas on species here?
