A Strange Visitor on the Columbine

The Swedish name of the flower is AKLEJA. Therefore Ann-Sofi suggests that the title of this picture could be The Beauty and the Beast. OK!
Brian asks whether this "Beast" is Soldier Beetle - I really don't know! I'll try to find out...
This visitor is definitely NOT a soldier beetle which is brown or orange in the pictures I found. What about Tragosoma depsarium (nahkuri in Finnish?) -
The picture I found on an expert's webside resembled this one in my shot.

Vacker bild på en skir akleja! Skalbaggen gör bilden till "The beauty and the Beast"!
