Beautiful bug and definitely beautiful photo ;)

Thank you both :) Gerardo, they only exist on the eurasian continent, that's why ;-) But even here they are not that easy to spot as they are tiny (7-9mm) fellows most of the time hidden under stones or else, but when discovered they can run really fast. And they seem to live mostly on the banks of small waters.
