Cockchafer Beetle

Description:

A large beetle, also sometimes known as a Maybug, Doodlebug or Maybeetle. It's one of the largest beetles found in the UK (about 25-30mm) and makes a deep humming sound in flight. They have fan shaped antennae, males having 7 "leaves" whereas females have 6. This one pictured that was crashing in to my window is male I believe. Historically these bugs have been a major pest for agriculture.
