Helo. I photographed this Ferdinandea 14.5.2017, Slovakia, Kosice, 250m a.s.l.
I think it is Ferdinandea cuprea where it is visiblethree, posterially-pointing on appice of femur 2. Can it be another species? I have uncertainty about black legs.
Thank you. Regards, Karol.

Ciao, the separation of cuprea / ruficornis - cuprea has black aristae, ruficornis' are orange.
Usually the paws are yellow with the dark tarsi, so better Ferdinandea sp.
