Rough Hermit Beetle - Osmoderma scabra

I guess an apropos name considering it almost knocked me out of my chair as it flew towards me this afternoon! I thought it might be a "non-human" life-form piloting a UAP!



Yesterday's photo:

Canon EOS R5
1/250s f/14.0 at 700.0mm iso8000 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Excellent details here...this is a fine shot of your rowdy interloper, Carl :o)

Yeah, it would be a little off-putting to go face to face with this guy.
Great capture.

This is so incredible!
Amazing macro of one of our neighbors that we do not consider until it is presented so powerfully!

That was a "rough" awakening. Glad you survived the onslaught and got a nice close-up to boot.

Remarkable detail down to the "whiskers" on its "chin". Glad you survived the rough altercation!
