      Could you tell us WHERE please (preferably by setting a country of better yet geotagging the image :o)
      P.S. Assuming that this was in England too (like many of your other images) then it is Melolontha melolontha (Cockchafer, May bug, whatever ..) - of the male variety :o)       Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago
