Hello,
In the south of France, on April 08, 2021.
Body length: 11 mm.
I don't know if from this single photo, one can distinguish between Xanthogramma dives and pedissequum?
Thank you for your help

In pedissequuum there should be only two yellow spots on the side of the thorax whereas dives has four. Here, only two are visible, so pedissequum is the likely bid.
