There are two possible options, judging from the photo alone.
1. C. producta Lw. - more common, associated mainly with Sonchus plants.
2. C. punctella - less common, but certainly present in Scandinavia, associated with Tragopogon or Scorzonera.

Differences are in ceratin seta coloration, length of proboscis and phallus structure, which are not visible here.

Thanks for your answer Valery. I found this in a garden so I don´t know to which platn it belongs

It seems that only C. punctella is on Swedish list.
Perhaps could C. producta be known with another name?

Campiglossa producta is also known as Paroxyna tesselata. However, it has not been listed for Sweden so far, according to our Fauna Europaea list. This means: C. punctella has more chances, but... I cannot ID it positively. Sorry.
