LOL Laura. You want him to sing. I would be happy only if it waves at me with one of those amazing horns. :)

Awesome! In Europe, these are called cockchafer beetles (leads to a lot of immature giggling!), these are great photos. I love those weird antennae, they look like antlers! I like how in the first picture, it's like he's in a spotlight, like he's going to start singing for us :D That would make an interesting spotting.
