Looks like a V-pug, Chloroclystis v-ata.Found this tiny butterfly/moth in the middle of a mixed forest in Germany.
About 1 cm wingspan and body maybe 5 mm long.
Can anybody tell me the species? My searches were fruitless.

The RF 100-400 is very good close up. It's pretty close to the RF 100-500mm. The insect season is starting for me and I got my first Holly Blue and a pair of copulating craneflies on a walk around the block this week.Been testing out the RF 100-400. Seems good for larger insects. Here is a female orange tip butterfly. R6, 400mm, 1/400, f/8, ISO 1600.View attachment 209043

It's a Goldenrod Crab Spider. There's a free app "Seek" that identifies birds, plants, insects etc - well, for a lot of the time.I leave it to the specialists to name this spider (I didn't succeed...)
I found it on an Anacamptis Morio orchid.View attachment 209072
Thank you!It's a Goldenrod Crab Spider. There's a free app "Seek" that identifies birds, plants, insects etc - well, for a lot of the time.
There's also a pretty good one called ObsIdentify; the native photo app on Apple devices will also have a go at identification, though with an occasional American bias - can be good for cultivated plants though, and finds similar images online for comparison.It's a Goldenrod Crab Spider.
