And finally for now, albeit inconclusively, this is a Eurasian field grasshopper, genus Chorthippus.

Of some kind.

It could be any of C. brunneus, C. mollis, or C. biguttulus, all of which were previously thought be a single species, Stauroderus variabilis.

They were later distinguished on the basis of their songs 🤷‍♂️🎶

Somewhat more patient with the poorly-equipped photographer was this small beast.

It's a Red-spotted Plant Bug (Deraeocoris ruber; 🇩🇪 Rote Weichwanze), common around the edges of forests. Makes sense, as @mpi_astro is in the middle of one.

Mind you, there are many other types of arthropod up in the forest 🌳🌲

Including this wasp, which was rushing around in the conifers, making it hard to get good photos, not least with a phone 🤷‍♂️

I think it's a Toothed Tiger Ichneumon (Amblyteles armatorius; 🇩🇪 Gelbe Schlupfwespe), & from the abdomen pattern, likely a female.
