Possibly this or Bombus soroeensis. Not quite sure but hope it narrows it down a bit.

Isn't it some sort of Vitis (grapevine)?

That's it! Thank you, now I have to decide which of the Crambus it may be :)

It looks more like a true bug (Heteroptera) nymph than a beetle (Coleoptera). It's a pretty one, though.

Positive. In the second photo you can clearly see it has eight legs. Then there's the typical mouthparts and that expandable "pouch" in the back. I'd suggest Ixodes ricinus, since it's widely distributed in Europe.

That looks like a nasty old tick :)

Definitely not dragonfly, but maybe something in the Syrphidae family. Something like Neoascia podagrica
