Not sure if these (2 separate individuals) are garden chafers or Hoplia philanthus or something else, any help appreciated.

LesterWareham Moderator  More info | Jun 23, 2014 14:01 | #7 Great shots. Yup chafer of some sort. Not a garden one though I think, they have a metallic green look to the head, though there can always be variability with these things. Gear List

This is an old shot of a garden chafer http://www.ware.myzen.co.uk …e%20A1A_001_15-06-13.html They look more like Hoplia philanthus but they're supposed to be rarer and not really around the area I was in (Brandon marsh, Coventry). There were a fair few of them around as well so that's why I thought they must be something more common
