Thank you Marja! I am going to correct it now. I always struggle with the right ID for some insects :-)

Hello Marta, I'm sorry, but this is not Aromia moschata (who would be much bigger than this fellow) but a (female) beetle of the family Oedemeridae, and I think of the genus Oedemera. Best wishes Marja
