could this be a Cockchafer beetle?

Evening all,

I'm new to gardening and identification of insects/beetles, but this afternoon I noticed this creature (will attach photo!) on my roses, I have spent some time looking across the internet to see if I could id it and came across the Cockchafer beetle and wanted a second opinion!

Yup! Otherwise known as the may fly 😄

Thanks for replying!

I did a little internal shudder when I saw it as it was huge and clinging on really tightly! If there's one will there be more? Iv never seen one before!

Round here they batter against windows after dark at this time of year.Large and noisy. Bit creepy.

I had an upturned one on my windersill last night. It looked like a tarantula eating an enormous caterpillar. Creepy things.

I don't really want to see another one, iv double checked iv shut all my windows I have visions of waking up in the middle of the night and there being a swarm of them in my bedroom!!

They're known as may bugs round here. Huge, noisy buggers.
