Scarab Beetle? - Osmoderma

Scarab Beetle? - Osmoderma
Fayetteville / University of Arkansas Greek Theater, Washington County, Arkansas, USA
September 13, 2024
While I was on a walk, I heard a squeaking/click noise. When I started to walk towards the noise it got much quieter and stopped. I turned on my flashlights and noticed this beetle crawling from a log and moving onto the sidewalk. The beetles had a reddish-brown thorax and reddish black abdomen. With a very hard pair of elytra covering its wings. The bug was only crawling and did not fly anywhere while I was watching it.
