Acanthosoma haemorrhoidale or Elasmostethus interstinctus or ?
nice coloring!
No spikes... Maybe it has it's name because it is feeding mainly on Hawthorn berries :)
I would tend to Elasmostethus interstinctus. Acanthosoma means spiky body and yours has no spikes. But some on the web are in my opinion wrongly IDed!Please, check the spikes!
