European hermit beetle
Actually, Osmoderma barnabita (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) is one of the several species separated from a single one (O. eremita). Found and photographed in its habitat, in a mixed forest with old oaks in Western Hungary.
Shot with the Sigma 15mm ƒ/2.8 fisheye lens at its closest focusing point. The foreground lit by a diffused twinflash. Check out an other photo in the comment!
Getting an acceptable illumination in such a dark forest still needs some development.
