 This beetle has its head hidden like a Lampyrid, and some other features look like Lampyridae too. But at least where I live I have never seen these colors on a Lampyrid. ID help will be appreciated!

 I think it should be Lampyrid, genus Cratomorphus. But I am not expert... Libor

 It could be a net winged beetle, family Lycidae, but I think are also some Lampyridae that look like this!
