This is an old finnish belief, actually. One of the earliest butterfly species to wake up in the spring is the brimstone, which is either bright yellow or pale green, so predictions of a happy summer are far more likely than tragic ones!

(What we saw together was tortoiseshell butterfly - not the worst omen you could see!)
