Also enjoying the sunshine up at 570 metres at [@mpi_astro](https://wisskomm.social/@mpi_astro ) on the Königstuhl, this small beetle.

Likely a flea beetle (genus Psylliodes) thanks to its chunky thighs, but am not sure beyond that.

Possibly P. napi given overall similarities or P. chrysocephela, which is common, but both are associated with Brassicaceae, of which there aren't many atop this mountain 🤨
