Good afternoon everyone.
This looks to me like one of the Lygaeidae. But I'm not at all sure. Can anyone help? Thank you. Frank, if you like some 600x400 just say so;)

Hi, Andre. What is its body length? If it is equal or more than 4.5 mm it could be Drymus (as Nikita said) or Trapezonotus (it's my suggestion). If it is less than 4.5 mm (about 3-3.5 mm) it could be Taphropeltus. That is what I think.

Hi Sergey,
Sorry, I tend to forget to give details:(
It was app. 6 mm long.
I've seen a couple of images of both, but I can't decide which genus...

Would be glad to receive a dorsal and lateral view, Andr?!
But a name I can?t tell yet: Drymus should be right, but for a shure id in bugs I need help too. So I fwd. your pics to our expert. Tomorrow you should reach species level. Best regards Frank

Hi, Andre. Here is my picture of Trapezonotus arenarius L. It looks very similar to your bug, but having compared these two bugs I tend to conclude that your bug is Drymus.
