Faredin - You're right, that Wikipedia page doesn't list assassin bugs as endemic to Europe, however a quick web search seems to indicate they have been introduced and that some are even endemic - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masked_hunter. However, on second thought the head of this spotting doesn't look very assassin bug-like so I'm a bit stumped. Good luck finding an ID - it's a nice clear photo so hopefully someone with more expertise can lend a hand :)

Thanks Gerardo! @ Daniel, This can not be a assassin bug since I just found in Denmark in my backyard on a tree and wikipedia does not say that they are found in Europe and I hope not :).

This looks like an assassin bug to me :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triatominae
