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!

Look at No. 17 Lamprocera picta var.. it's very similar.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
