Please verify yourself! I am not 100% about this one. My focus was on the white spot and the slightly thickened legs compared to Acanthocephala femorata. And the last segment of the antennae is reddish and not fully black antennae. What do you think? And do you have Swiss roots in your family?

I'm not sure exactly what kind, but I bet it's some kind of assassin bug.
