Insect/Bug

I really do not know what this is but it was laying on its back in the back garden this afternoon. I picked it up and put it on the table where it just lay there, not twitching or doing anything. {OK I didn't really pick it up in my fingers, come on I am a girlie, I used scissors}

If anyone can tell me whay this is I would appreciate it, I'm fairly sure it is a beetle BUT is it a specific sort?
