If this guy is about 2.5cm long, we get them in the month of May - June in Eastern Canada, and call them June Bugs.
I believe they spend 7 years in the ground as cut worms (gardeners' bane) and fly for just one 24 hr period to procreate.
Every year, one solitary guys gets trapped in my garage. What a rip-off!!!
And I thought I have bad luck

It looks like a type of scarab or chafer beetle, which are mostly types of dung beetle. We have some very similar in the UK, but I cannot tie it down to an exact species from my books. Maybe it's as Mac says, but such insects are usually very local.

Looks like a female Stag bettle.

Took off with a load buzzing sound like a model aircraft.
Most weird it was.
