This one habitats the southern part of Sweden, as well as Germany. I am guessing it exists in Denmark as well. This one looks like a young female! Here is a picture of an other female, with more distinct black colours: http://eol.org/data_objects/24853906

Hahaha, that's too precise measurement. It's not possible to get close to them so of course i didn't measure it but there are only 3 species I have seen so far. This one, one with darker color and one green so give me what you have and i check it.

If it was smaller than 22 mm, I have something for you!

OK bro! A bit more info would be helpful. Size? There are not that many species in Scandinavia that are bigger than 20 mm, and if you have a profile picture of the head that would help a lot as well! :)
