Cool shoot, Sylwek.
If I'm not completely mistaken, that is a Shield Bug (Pentatomidae),
called Graphosoma italicum.
The shield bugs have a chemical defence that they spray onto
attackers. Even birds will think twice after a taste of that stuff.
That's how they get away with such radiant colours.

Here's a link I found googling the latin name:

Cheers,
