Chlorus is an early species, but this sounds extremely early to me for Swedish standards... Did you have any winter this year?

We had really cold, mid january to mid february. But warmer than normal two weeks in march.
About 15-20 C the day I caught this one.
( I live in the most southern province of Sweden).
Reports from "artportalen.se" are from 15/4 to 5/6 so this one was indeed very early...
