Hello Christophe, this looks like a Musk Beetle (Aromia Moschata) body length 20-35mm.
A good image, lots of detail. The beetle does look quite soft though.
Thanks for sharing.

Very good shot Christophe!
Great composition and POV, beautiful colours and very good details.
I like it very much.
Well done!

Nice macro, Christophe.
It could use some more DOF though.
Parts of the antennae and legs are not sharp.
Very nice composition though.

Hi Christophe,
This beetle also not Aromia, this is a Cerambyx scopolii.
Good luck,
Nikola
