Scarab beetle (Osmoderma scabra)

This beetle was on the side of a maple tree, looking quite impressively large at about 25 mm. Apparently this is the smallest of the scarab beetles in the genus.

A fine capture, Christine. Well camouflaged for survival.

He looks like a big fella - like his "antlers".

Great find and capture. I'm sure you have many more insects up there than we do because I never see cool stuff like this!
