Celosterna spinator
The longhorn beetles are a cosmopolitan family of beetles, typically characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle's body. In various members of the family, however, the antennae are quite short. Several are serious pests.
Seen at a small forest near a farm.

Yes they have Chief :)
Longhorn beetles have eyes which looks special!
Actually, I went with your suggestion on: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/371... this looked similar, only the colours were a bit lighter on this one.
I am a little bit sceptic about this one being Celosterna spinator. Main colors are different, the antennae colors and segmentation are also different, the markings on the femurs as well. But definitely a Lamiinae.
