 Thank you very much Eric,
I had not yet seen any representatives of the Rhagionidae family.
Would the larvae and imagos of this family be predators of other insects?

 I have not much information about the biology of the Ragionidae. The larvae and the imagines are told to live in dead wood and detritus, hunting small insects or feed on mouldering plant material.

 Second antennal segment is dark and thoracic dorsum is not as orange as lateral side: I'd say Ch. nubecula

 Thanks Theo,
I hadn't seen your identification with the recognition criteria.
I've just corrected the title.
