A European Rhinoceros Beetle survived the tree's plastic wrapping and being soaked in water before planting.
A European Rhinoceros Beetle has been found in the UK, where it is not a native species, after stowing away in a potted plant.
"As I planted [the tree] in a big plant pot I saw what I thought was a lump of wood, which you sometimes get in compost."But five minutes in the sun while she carried on gardening revived it.Widespread near the Mediterranean Sea, the European Rhinoceros Beetle is not thought to be an invasive threat to UK species.
David Smith, from the charity, said: "While it is fascinating to observe unfamiliar species of insects in the UK, it is extremely concerning that species such as large as the European Rhinoceros Beetle can make their way here undetected in products."
