To panic about what the hell this is in my garden? Pic attached

[Helppooo]

what on earth is this? Is it dangerous?

I'm still haunted by those poor hedgehogs. Huddled in the road staring down death.

"Don't curl up! Don't curl up!"

😬

Or the death of Mrs Pheasant. Shot and acted with all the horror of a flashback from 'Nam 😂

Fucking brutal 😂

They'd never get away with it these days

I am in Australia so scrolling Mumsnet while having breakfast. Saw your title & had visions of spiders, snakes .... then see the picture ... a beetle 😁 Then I remembered you aren't dealing with the same sort of "what is it !" in your gardens over there.

It’s a cockchafer/May bug

I think he’s male by the look of his antennae

Oxford dictionary: "English ceafor, cefer, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch kever"

This!

Ringo? Paul ? John?

Awww this took me back to my childhood, mum and dad, called them all beastie's to us kids, at the time we didn't know it was because they are both Scottish lol. There were also quite few of the sayings that I would end up saying over the years to people and they wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about 🤣

You are pure evil 😢🤣

But is it John, Paul, George or Ringo? It's really hard to tell 🤔

I am a German in Germany and do feel sentimental about them. 😊 I actually put out 4 of them this morning that had become trapped inside. It appears to be a good year for Maikäfer.

Wrong forum... 😂

Cockchafer

It’s a cockchafer or May bug. Totally harmless.

I made that joke yesterday, so beat(le) it! 😆

My ringworm is called Ringo 🦠

It’s beautiful!

I like it too.

It’s a May bug otherwise known as a Common cockchafer. Beautiful beetle.
