Common Cockchafer or Maybug
Common Cockchafer is a large flying beetle that has been called a doodlebug because of the buzz sound it makes when flying. That nickname was used for Germany’s V-1 flying bomb in World War 11, also known for its sound. They live for around five weeks after first spending three to four years in the earth/soil as a grub/larvae. This one appeared in my garden in a pot of perennial geranium and walked around for a while before warming up in the sun and flying off.
