Green beetle No2

I posted a blip of one of these a few months back because I was stunned by its colour in the middle of winter.
Today it literally shone out of this lilac bush like an emerald in the sun.
I have since found out that it is actually called a Rose Chafer and it only lives for 6-12 months having been larvae for up to two years. Sad. I have seen an awful lot of the larvae in my compost heap but never knew what they grew up to be.
