Cleridae
Not sure beyond that, but I can tell you some genera that it's not!

Rearing clerids isn't an easy task, but in future you can sometimes get them to take soft bodied prey like small weevil or darkling beetle larvae.

Thank you.
I find these accidentally and sporadically but would really like to rear one to an adult. Your advice may help.
Thank you.

Reminiscent
Reminiscent of this

which is apparently a clerid...in which case...could you find more of those shingle oak larvae for it to feed on? (assuming it's still alive)
