From my garden near Copenhagen, Denmark may 21, 2009. I´ve called it Xanthogramma pedissequum and first now been aware of X.stackelbergi/dives.

Thanks in advance

Yes, should be pedissequum, but the two other species are difficult to separate from another.

Thank you for your answer.
What made me doubt pedissequum was this link:
http://www.tam.pp...gramma.pdf.
The menbrane between tergites and sternites on abdomen is all yellow from the end of tergit 2 and distally on picture 2.
But I can easily be wrong, of course.

Kindly
