    Oedemera nobilis, thick legged flower beetle,
    (although only the males have thick legs)
    I found it in my conservatory yesterday, rather pretty in a metallic green colour.
    It apparently likes flowers such as daisies, Cornflowers etc, and I couldn't find anything bad about it so I let it go in the garden ...

      Are they genuinely thick, or what?
