    Hi Ferdy,
    A bug :o) Superfamily Coreoidea, probably family Coreidae. Nice looking bug, but I'm having trouble finding a good match easily, so I'll have to look again some other time... Cheers, Arp

    P.S. Phthia lunata might come close? Drawing in this PDF:

      Thanks for looking into this :) Phthia lunata seems like a very good suggestion:
