During a trip in Sicily last July, I have met this nice species endemic from Madonie and Nebrodie mountains :

A female :

Altitude : 550 m - Taille : 28 mm
Réf. : 145988

Big larvaes :

Always a pleasure to find Osmoderma species !

Very interesting for Osmoderma, Protaetia speciosissima, Cerambyx welensii, etc...
