What is this colorful bug from Germany? a friend found this little fella just outside of Berlin and managed to snap a blurry picture. ![enter image description here]( This boy or girl is probably the size of a finger nail and features fly like skin wings with no hard cover. There are thin curved antennas at the head. On the internet I found the same color scheme in "Festive Tiger Beetle (Cicindela scutellaris)", but the shape doesn't seem to match. Can you identify this creature? (surely not spider, right?) Thanks

Perhaps it's some form of jewel beetle. Their wings are traditionally used in jewel and clothesmaking and some of them are detrimental invasive species.

It will be nearly impossible to say which species based on that photo, which is too blurry.
