Cetonia aurata
This bug is usually seen from late april to august, before that, their larvas are living 3-5 years in the ground, before getting adult bugs, and mating. They usually eat pollen and nectar, preferring the flowers with strong scent - :( they are eating up all my roses, lilacs, and the pinks.
