| | | Wierd Moth/Beetle thing? Can anyone identify?
Hello can anyone tell me what this is?? It decided to visit my girlfriend through the window last night while she was just about to nod off! It flew in, managed to get itself into the bedside lamp, where it bounced around a bit until clinging to the bottom (not on the bulb itself) and then went silent. She tried to get it back outside but she's not too good with crawly creatures so she assumed it dead and put the lamp away from the bedroom 
I just got back tonight and went to try and move it, and it began moving again, but it seemed to be clinging to the lampshade. I love bugs and animals but I am certainly no expert so if anyone could let me know what it is?
Btw I'm in Potton, Bedfordshire, if our location makes it any easier to identify?
Also I'd say it was about as big as a grape, but I doubt it tastes much like one!
I'm going to take this 'little' big fella outside now where he/she belongs!    |

Pretty sure it's a Cockchafer.

Yep think that's it, thanks for the answers! I asked elsewhere I heard the same. Funny things, they look especially odd close up.. Cockchafer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | | |
