Firefly
Looks to me like a firefly, family Lampyridae.
I'm not an expert and these look very similar to each other, so I can't say for sure which species.
Compare to this one -->

 
Good ID
Very dark and granulated elytral surface, pronotal patterning, and flattened, serrated antennae all point to this species.
