Thank you very much! I haven't even noticed the green before you mentioned it :) I searched the internet for the exact ID but couldn't find any assassin bug that looks exactly the same. I'll just leave it Reduviidae for now.
Latimeria
It's an assassin bug, family Reduviidae. Such wonderful colors on this one, I especially like the hint of green on its wings near its abdomen.
