WTF is this beetle?

I'm glad you posted this!

One of these flew into my girlfriends house the other day and we've been wondering what the hell it was ever since!

I spent some time devising new ways to kill ticks while I was on a chainsaw course. Ticks love lurking in bracken and bracken is often near/under/around conifer plantations -_-

Stop lurking in me.

So what would you do if this came along:

Make a mess everywhere..

Why do people kill things like bugs etc.?

You should only kill for food, for self-defence (incl. wasps ) or I suppose () sport.
