Cockchafer

The Cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha ) especially common throughout the month of May , hence it also being known as the Maybug. South Petherwin,Cornwall, May 2011. Found one morning lying upside down on the kitchen floor, so I rescued him and took him outside where he allowed me to take his portrait before he flew off.
