Thank you Diaz José Miguel!
Cute guy!
Thank you Marta!
Nice spotting!
I think it looks like a seal. :)
Thank you Bayucca! Spotting edited to reflect suggested ID.
How sure are you about Leiopus sp.? This is mostly an European species. I did not find any reports from East Asia, only as far as Iran and Russia.
What about Callimetopus sp. and for example Callimetopus capito?? Not sure at all! But definitely a Lamiinae.
