Garden Chafer Phyllopertha horticola
The Garden Chafer is fairly regularly found in the area, a situation which exists around other parts of Nottinghamshire through my own casual observations. It's most often encountered feeding on flowerheads or sitting on vegetation during the evening hours and measures about 12-15mm in length.
