Minature Wild Life (1)

I have learnt the Name of this Species of Beetle It is Called the Cockchafers,also Commonly called the May Bugs Their Scientific name: Melolontha melolontha, These large beetles emerge as adults in May or June after living in the soil as larvae for 3-5 years. They are strong though inelegant fliers and are attracted to light, meaning they often fly through open windows and gatecrash evening barbecues! But don’t worry; they are not harmful to humans.
