Description

The Osmoderma genus, often found in tree hollows, is as much a part of forest ecosystems as the leaves overhead. Remarkably, these beetles are among the few insects capable of producing a detectable scent reminiscent of leather, earning them a peculiar interest among scientists and enthusiasts. This aromatic characteristic is not just for human appreciation but plays a crucial role in their mating rituals, helping them attract partners across the dense forest air.
