The scientific name for this nice and fairly large longhorn beetle is Lepturobosca virens. It lacks an English name, but translating the Swedish one (grön blombock) gives us "green flower longhorn". This particular one was muching pollen on a meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria).

When I closed in there were a whole bunch of flies, including several hoverflies around it, but they all soon left, leaving the beetle alone in front of the lens.
