Hello Helge, I'm still waiting for the first one to appear in my garden, but I have no doubt - you are corret!

Not sure where you live, Eric, but the species has disappeared from lower altitudes rapidly, so your garden needs to go up :)

Well, it does occur at 500 m in the Ardennes, of course colder than Nuremberg. And in case you didn’t notice, it is a summer species, so don’t go on holidays :)
