Field Notes

Description:

A huge Hermit beetle (Osmoderma eremita) a protected beetle species, spotted while feeding on a fig, in Goura stream, near Kypseli village, Tzoumerka mountains, Greece.
I had to stretch and stretch to reach a nice vew of the beetle, so the photo quality is pretty poor , but at least I got a decent glimpse of that incect.
