A Mayfly is a different beastie. It an aquatic insect wot fly fishy folk copy to catch fishies.
Cockchafers are cool. As long as they don’t get down ya pants.

We used to call them May bugs when I was at school.

I will never forget my mate at school who was a 16 stone prop forward running round the classroom absolutely terrified of one of those beasties!

Thanks to Wikipedia I have learnt that there is a Large Cockchafer

Yes, I'm childish.

I thought they gobble up old wood but a quick google suggests that's something else

They have a 5 year life cycle, as flying bugs they only live a few days. So, you won’t see them every year.
