thanks in advance Ingrid Altmann
If you read the species info page, your bug has a pronotum with a length: width ratio of 1:1 (photo 1) which seems to fit N. rugosus. It also says that segment 2 of the antenna should be longer than the maximum width of the pronotum. It may just be the angle in photo 1 but there it looks like the segment is almost exactly the same length.
Not much help, I'm afraid :blink:

Yes really James! So the determination is a bit complicated ...
Thanks for your effort!
I would say
Nabis rugosus is correct :duim:

I am pretty sure that the angle is the 'problem', they nearly always have their antennae a bit upwards directed, so the segment looks shorter than it should be.
Thank you very much Marco! :blink:
