Cock chafers also known as maybugs.
Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people

Cockchafer beetles, I think.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

The may bugs mob me, but apparently these beetles are harmless.

They're great! And harmless. There's one headbutting my window now, trying to get in. I look forward to seeing them each year

And we've had all the jokes about their name on another thread.
