I think this chap flew into my 5th floor hotel room at night. I am from the Uk and have never seen anything like this before. Can anyone help. It flew quite loudly and was approx an inch in length

Hi Richard,
This is a Eucalyptus Borer in the genus Phoracantha. The larvae bore in the wood of eucalyptus trees.
