Hey Laurie, nice photos! This is an erythraeid in the genus Leptus. I'm a graduate student working on erythraeids and am having trouble obtaining specimens. If you see more of these guys, I'd pay for shipping if you'd be willing to send them!

Hi Laurie, I've finally found out the identification of this beast! It's Leptus trimaculatus, a common and beautiful erythraeid found throughout Europe.
