The link shows a true bug - Heteroptera, though they have the same colours.

Yes, it's eyes looks more like that of a Longhorn beetle except that it lack of those big mandibles. The thorax of Cicindela campestris are more rounded too.

AshishNimkar I don´t think it is a Cincidela. It´s eyes are not large as Cincidela´s eyes, and it´s shape is cilindrical, more like a firefly
