Flower Chafer
No, I hadn't heard of them either. We spotted them on some apple blossom at Arundel Castle. They are so beautiful with their iridescent green shell but apparently they'll ruin your roses and also they contain a toxin within its body chemistry that can be deadly to birds, including chickens. The same toxin can be deadly to other small animals when they eat these beetle So, all in all, not a welcome visitor.
I've put another photo in the comments below which shows it's beautiful colour
