Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Halstenbek near Hamburg, area of tree nursery, earthwall (overgrown with small bushes like hazel, maple, roses, sloes, brambles), found at a leaf of alder; Outsidephotos: kuv, 14th of June 2016. When I hold the leaf the larve (?) showed drops at its back (for defence?). Please help to get the ID.

Hello,

I would take a look at Chrysomelidae (Coleoptera).

Hello Jürgen, thank you very much. I read for example about the larva of Chrysomela vigintipunctata that they gave off bad smelling drops, but this species goes to willows and looks different. So I'll search further ... or an expert tells me here in this forum ...

I got a hint, that it is a larva of Linaeidea aenea (Chrysomelidae).
