Coleoptera Carabidae? The antennae are filiform, so I feel like its either this or Cicindelidae.  But Cicindelidae don't have ridged elytra.  The problem is the head is huge and the legs aren't long and thin...

I definitely agree on Carabidae, but the head seems about normal size and (I think) the legs on Carabidae tend to be thick down to the patella and then become thin.
