An interesting find
This is Oxybleptes, males have a very swollen last antennomere and luckily yours is a male. The protruding eyes, color and location have narrowed it down to 'kiteleyi'. Species of this genus are collected very haphazardly, usually in pan traps or flight intercept traps and to photograph it in nature is really amazing.

Cheers,
Adam
