Unwelcome Pests

[Jack TGA]

I found this critter in my camper. I don't think it's a cockroach. Do cockroaches infest campervans? Does it look like a cockroach to anyone who is familiar with them?

Just checking images, cockroaches seem to have long things at the front, can’t see them on yours

Doesn't look like a cockroach, there are so many UK bugs and beetles it would take an expert to identify this little chap and the picture is not quite sharp enough to pin him down. Don't worry about it though, it's not an infestation !

Google lens comes up with Melolonthinae a member of the scarab beetle family!

That's what I thought. No antenna and not long or thin enough.

If it was a cockroach you’d know by now. There would be hundreds

Have you had anything delivered from abroad or bought any produce sent to the shop from abroad? It could be an Australian Cowboy beetle

Don’t cockroaches come out in the dark ?

If it’s one of those, are you suggesting a damp check may be prudent?

Tiger beetle. Find them in the heath land round here. Wouldn't worry unless you find loads.
