when you post images for identification...
...please make sure they are cropped so that the bug fills the frame; photos showing mostly background often fail to attract expert feedback

Thank you, v belov,
I've been able to crop the photo just a little bit better. Unfortunately, I didn't get closer to the "target". Hope it will be good enough for identification.
Best regards,
Konrad

O.K., v belov,
I thought I shouldn't crop beyond 100%. I'm going to try out with another photo how that then shows up. THANK YOU!
Best,

P.S. Forgot to say that I see that the bug is already identified by you with the classification above the photo. I'm very grateful, but as I'm new to this site I'm not yet sure of how to respond. Do I thank you (which I would do from my heart) or is that not done in this comment section (unless the identification happens in the comment section).
Sorry about my confusion, I'll get the hang of it soon enough...
