I think this is a beetle of some sort. Could someone take a look and let me know what they think?

Thanks, Gareth

Is it a different species, race, age or gender to mine in Russia, note the incomplete upper cross band on the OP?

On KSIB it has an image for both, one with a broken strip across the shoulder and one where the stripe is complete.

Thanks both of you for your input, Gareth

Trichius sp. The differences between species are subtle, elytra pattern variable.
