Phorocera (Parasetigena) silvestris.
You don't see that too often.

Thanks, Theo. This will be the first one on Waarneming.nl. Is it rare or just badly underrecorded?

it is probably predominantly tree-dwelling but that said, I see them a lot in Greece and never in NL. So probably both of yout theries apply.
