Well, that is very very weird indeed

-1) you are completely right
-2) that cannot be, since Gymnochaeta viridis is a strictly early spring species.

I have seen this before, once, with a Siphona maculata from october.

So this is appearance mistake: it pupated too early !!

Fascinating - when Alexaandru asked my via email I was sure that either the date was wrong or it would prove to be a different species of Gymnocheta :)
