Hyalymenus sp
About 2 cm. Thanks for the ID - does look like the photos, though my guy looks a bit like he's on steroids with those hind legs.
No, keep it like this. Ant Bug is also correct, but mostly refered to the nymphs which really looks like ants. You may add the additional names in the description field. If someone search for ant bug, then your cool one will also be shown!
Thorsten, there is one more for you to take a look at it:

At least you agree with Hyalymenus sp., don't you, Thorsten? I know, there is probably no chance to get closer.
I'm afraid it would be difficult to get closer than Hyalymenus sp. - because of the variation in this genus :-(
Ah, thanks. I don't have lots of time, I'll try to be more careful though! Though honestly I think it looks more like that than the other ones. When I get a free moment I'll look a bit more.
I think it looks a lot like this except that the hind legs on mine are even bigger...

Looks like a broad-headed bug, family Alydidae. (Very distinct legs! Reminiscent of a Coreid bug).
