But then the body shape doesn't correspond with the members of this family...

I found it on 21 August in a Nature Reserve, but forgot what plant it was on..

Not a beetle, but a true bug (Hemiptera, suborder Heteroptera); either a nymph or brachypterous adult - unsure of family.

Many thanks Suunto! It is indeed a nymph.

and I've found its ID; (Ant Damsel Bug) Himacerus mirmicoides, larva
