Aka June bugs. I had masses of them in my compost heap a few years back.

June bugs are stag beetles.

Wrong. Google for June bug and you'll see that it isn't the stag beetle.

However I was wrong is saying that the chafer beetle was the same as the
June bug and you were correct in saying that it is the May bug.

However what I had was certainly the larva of the June bug and I
suspect, from the photo, that that is what Shazzbat has.
