Found this 1 inch(ish) beetle on the floor in my house in Boston, MA in the beginning of July.
I wasn’t able to confidently identify it from searching the web.
Can you help?
Signature: Thanks!
Also known as the Odor of Leather Beetle because of its aroma, the Hermit Flower Beetle, Osmoderma eremicola, is pictured on BugGuide. According to BugGuide, it develops in: “rotten logs in woodlands and orchards; adults nocturnal, come to lights.”
