Alydus

Alydus calcaratus

Notes:

The animals mate from July to September, nymphs were found from May to August. Information on the way of life of the nymphs is contradictory. The nymphs are said to live in ant nests but the nature of the relationship of the nymphs to ants is still unclear.

I'm pretty sure about the family Alydidae (Broad-headed Bug).
