Date ? Looks very weird, might be Pexopsis aprica ?

Thanks Theo !
I found it in the garden 2022-05-29 on a cherry leaf.
What pictures can I take to get closer to an ID ?

Size is ca 6 mm.

Could Erythrocera nigripes be an option in Sweden ?

Yes ! It resembled Pexopsis, but not a total match.
6mm. Is way too small for Pexopsis, but excellent match for Erythrocera.
That should be it.

So, please change the title of this thread for later use.

I found E. nigripes in the far northeast of Poland, so this record from Skane does not seem totally weird, though very nice.
