Flying Moose?

Yumbo, Colombia

Unfortunately a poor photograph but this insect certainly has impressive antennae.

I believe what you have there is a male glow-worm beetle in the family Phengodidae - see http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/568586002 for another example. The female beetles in this family remain larviform their entire life - see http://picssr.com/tags/glowwormbeetle for an example.

Sure enough. Thanks again. Hope to see it again and get a better photo.
