Can anyone identify this bug please?

Found one on the net covering my salad veg and 2 on my beans. Anybody know what it is?

Rosemary beetle? (very rough guess)

green dock beetle

Isn't that a Rose Chafer beetle? (We're not doing well at getting a consensus are we?😂)

My main concern is whether it is going to eat/damage my veg. Just found 2 more on my beans. So that's 4 on my beans this morning and 1 in my greenhouse - which is quite some distance away from my bean plot.... 😱

Had a flea beetle infestation in my salad leaves and kale last year so am anxious these beetles might be similarly aggressive and be about to eat their way through my carefully nurtured veg 😩

Am fairly new to gardening so I don't know my pests well yet - other than slugs of course!

After a bit more googling I think it's a garden chafer beetle (chestnut brown body and green head). Typically advice on Google ranges from, 'will do no significant harm' to, 'will eat the roots of young plants'.

Rosemary beetle. The damn things destroyed all my lavender

Chafer beetles are generally quite big . Thumb nail size .

Dock beetle.... I think!

Oh crikey - so many possibilities!

Looks like a garden chafer to me - I think they're pretty attractive beetles. I really wouldn't worry about it - they are herbivorous but it's not going to devastate your veg.

Take a close up (or zoom in on that one) and search google image, it might identify it for you

Definitely a garden chafer. Found one on a rose bush by the front door this morning. We have a very big garden and, while I'm not seeing them in large numbers (yet!) I'm a bit alarmed that I've seen them in completely different parts of the garden.

Apparently they emerge late spring-June so it's the right time of year for them.

We've located their main area of interest - hundreds of them on some fruit trees we planted a few years ago. DH says they have a short life cycle. I'm hoping he means en masse rather than individually and we're not going to have them all summer.

Rosemary beetle.
The RHS would like you to report it -

Garden chafers/cock chafers/maybugs are a lot bigger and less metallic-looking.

I really don't think it's a rosemary beetle. It's not striped for a start.

I'm now sure they're garden chafers - brown body, green head -

It's a beauty.

If it’s a chafer keep an eye on your lawn too. They laid eggs under ours and we didn’t know until after the larvae hatched - they eat the roots wrecking large patches of the grass.
