Cockchafer, also known as the maybug. It is May, after all.
Edited to add: Just in case you’re curious, it’s a male. Males have 7 feathers on their antenna. Females have 6.
Let him go and find a lady.
His house now, lay a marker down by torching the gaff
maybe already laid eggs in your body mate !
… did you ask him mate ? … is he a brit or from the free state ?
edit.. and you wonder whats wrong with Ulster ! cant even handle a joke haha
I hate when you learn the creepy thing you found has 17,000 species that look almost exactly like it, only a wee bit different.

Shitefly. They’re attracted by smell. Lol.
Google ‘may bugs’
They only live in the month of may hence the name.
A cockchaffer, the Royal Navy named a few ships after them, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Cockchafer, twice as many as Belfast

I’m not googling cockchafer. No siree
Cockchafer, it’s a species of scarab beetle. Any insect that has that kind of wing casing and head/back shape is usually a beetle of some sort.
Think I got one of those in a 4 in 1 from the chipper before
I think the scientific term for these is “Abominaticus Ballstothatix”
He is the Hero Northern Ireland Deserves , but does not exactly need right in this moment in time . HE IS : Toby Maguire as Peter Parker …… It’s Pizza time .
