New Challenge - Creepy Crawlies

I found a cockchafer grub in the garden, very creepy looking, will post pic later!
As they're starting to emerge now it's warmer at last, can I please have some bugs to remind us Summer is on it's way?

You're own photos, edited, manipulated or otherwise please.
The name of bug would be great too!

I love your challenges, TessA,
Rove Beetle, I'd never seen one before, nor since, in the garden.

Love the photos so far! It amazes me how jewel-like some insects can be.
