Do cockchafers may bug as we know it bite and what happens if they do?

Like all beetles, chafers have biting mouthparts so could bite you, although I've never known them to do it. Perhaps if you enclosed one in your hand then they might try to bite their way out? Their mouthparts aren't as cutting as some other families - the larger ground beetles can give a palpable nip ....

They're not the most elegant of fliers - strong and quite fast but without a lot of directional control: can give you quite a thump if you don't get out the way. The same applies to their relatives like the dor beetles ....

It would depend if it went through your trachea into your lungs, or into your stomach. if it is small like a regular black and, it is garunteed to die in the acids of the stomach. if it gets into the lungs, it will do some damage, I am not aware of what though. however, large bugs would probably do damage to lungs (either way, a bug will do damage to the lungs) ut if it is in the stomach any bug is likely to dissolve in the acids of te stomach, before it attempts biting at anything.
