Possibly Rose Chafers? If so, dispose of quickly - they'll be laying eggs which turn into Chafer grubs which will live in the ground for ages nibbling every root they come into contact with and killing as much of your garden as possible! Nasty little *******!

Wow ! Thanks, used a bug spray (Ultimate Bayer-Provado), hopefully they ok, haven't checked for a few weeks. One of my clients ! I go round tomorrow and check it out....

Many thanks Nariz

No, they are adult Rose Sawfly. :-)

look like chafer beetles to me..

Just type adult rose sawfly and voila!

Apart from Chafer Beetles being larger than this, even the Rose Chafer which is smaller than the Cockchafer, these are most definitely Rosa Sawfly (Arge pagana). Look carefully at the first picture Steve. The lower insect on the stem has the orange abdomen and the membranous wings are raised slightly above the body. Thorax and head are dark or blackish in colour.

Rose Chafer is Green anyway (Cetonia aurata).

Thanks very much guys and gals. I think Fractal is right on this occasion, thanks for your input !!

I had them a few weeks back, and had no idea what they were, but they were sprayed anyway.

Ont this occasion?..... Lol

No offence Fractal... should i have said 'On every occasion ?'...lol.x

Only time will tell, i have many more questions as I am very inquisitive. I'm sure our bond will grow over time ; ) and you will become my hero over and over again. Much love,.. TLG

What's the outcome Alextb, are they gone then ???

Mine have gone yes, I only saw 2 and both are gone.

Great stuff thanks
