I was in the office one evening last week when two insects hit the side window. I open it to find two large Cockchafer Beetles Melolontha melolontha on the sill. The Cockchafer beetle is also known as the May Bug. They are a very large beetle and are often mistaken for Cockroaches. Cockchafer's chew and eat fresh leaves of a variety of trees and shrubs. They do not bit or sting so there is no need to fear them.
Just found one in my back garden! Thanks for helping me identify it :)
