It seems quite difficult to ascertain the exact species, but its a sawfly of the family Tenthredinidae, probably the rose sawfly (Arge ochropus, but it might be A.pagana that look similar with more black above (I think)).

Whichever it is, I found it in the rain on a fake nettle plant...

Worse than that actually, I was with it in the rain! Had to wipe all the water off my gear afterwards, and I was soaked!
