Sorry for the bad quality of this photo, but I had to feature the owner of those amazing antennae. Can anyone give me a hint of its ID?

Nice spotting !
Incrível!
There are three possibities asergio. A click beetle (Elateridae) http://www.123rf.com/photo_12052771_clic... or a (Rhipiceridae) cicada eating beetle http://www.opsu.edu/Academics/SciMathNur... http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2011/03/12/b... http://www.flickr.com/photos/doc44/70731... or probably a firefly. This one is closest http://bugguide.net/node/view/195105
Remembers me of a Lampyridae, Firefly. But there are even longhorn beetle which mimics fireflies (your is definitely not a beetle!). I only know Photinus sp. from Costa Rica.
silly antennas there!!
:D
Yes, Ava, the envy of many a woman, I guess!
What lovely eye-lashes you have my dear.
