Description A very strange bug. I've tried to find out what his name is, but I didn't manage to do it.
I've found him near Olsztyn city (jura Krakowsko-Częstochowska). I've noticed that during the day he is very slow and sleepy, but when night comes he starts to fly all arround with a great speed.
And his "horns" are quite weird too.
Maybe somebody know it is?

Cockchafer, in polish it means "chrabąszcz"
The name of this cockchafer in polish is "chrabąsz majowy". So it is "May Cockchafer"
Thanks for comment!

Ow my...
So You're saying that this bug is very common in UK?
Because there is plague in Poland at this time.. Our "May Cockchafer"s are destroying trees and plants. In fact there is people who would pay for just killing that cockchafers!
