That is my thought exactly. A false start; I've done the same thing myself.
Yes I'm ready for Spring. I suppose this beetle might be a victim of an extra warm week or two.
This one is hibernating, or should have been.
The elms have no leaves yet and this guy would either want to lay eggs on them or eat them.
Hey, only two hours to spring!!!
