Hi, nice bug. This is most probably a Hemiptera nymph. Possibly Eurydema ornata...

I followed your suggestion about nymphs and found that my insect might look like more to Purple stinkfly nymph (Carpocoris purpureipennis). What do you think?

It looks to me like a early stage nymph belonging to the Pentatomidae (Shield bugs/ Stink bugs). I'm not familiar with your species over there as I am from the U.S. but, that said; at least you are in the ballpark.

Correction. Its most definitely a Hemipteran in its early stages. But not at all the species which you suggest (Carpocoris purpureipennis).I too am unfamiliar with the European fauna, sorry. Altho i would think its in the genus Eurydema...
