Thanks guys!

I can bet it is a shield bug. I think it is a young Graphosoma italicum.

Hi folks! I think I found ID for this bug.

Piezodorus lituratus - nymph.

I like the wide-look here. It give a great insight in the habitat that this shield bug lives in, or found in. – Great foto
The ID look´s correct to me

Thanks Ib, and welcome to forum!

I've cropped and rotated this photograph a little to get plane horizon.
