Osmoderma eremicola, also known as the hermit beetle[1] or hermit flower beetle,[2] is a species of scarab beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in North America.[3][4][5] Large (21–32 mm), shiny, and dark brown, it can be found in wooded areas around tree trunks, and is said to give off a "leathery odor." It occurs from southern Canada through the U.S. Midwest and east to Georgia.[1]
