Fantastic antennae! Can you tell us what the habitat was where you found it?
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.
