An evening curiosity.
This is a flea beetle in genus Psylliodes & as it was on dried brassica, best guess is P chrysocephala, the cabbage-stem flea beetle (🇩🇪 Großer Rapserdfloh).
They're usually dark green, but can come in brown too (var anglica), albeit mostly in the UK & very rarely in DE in iNat.

Addendum: the beetle was quite small, perhaps only 3-4mm in size, which fits Psylliodes chrysocephala.
It was also quite patient with the photographer, so each of the four images above are macro focus stacks of two or three individual pictures.
