Um, beatles cannot sting. The size sound about right. Look up the name I posted and see if it matches your beatle.
ok bite all i know is, it hurt.
sorry i ment 1.5-2.0cm.
looked up that name and i think your right.
thanks
Oh and try Amphimallon solstitialis .
I also think it is a cockchafer. You don't see them often here in Belgium. They are very nice beatles.
I think it also it is small Amphimallon solstitialis ... they are maybe nice , but their larvae killing all my flowers in garden :( (eating flower´s roots)
if any thing i would say it looks more like Amphimallon solstitialis to me but all i know is M.rubra love em :)
Thanks
who on earth decided to name a beatle 'Cockchafer'....?
sorry but the name makes me laugh. :grin:
