Around Lyon, my place, Morus (white and black species) were cultivated up to the early XX century to breed silkworms .
There are still few remaining "wild" trees, I use to pick berries every year. Black ones are better than white ones !
No coffee beans at home.
These beetles fly as fast as flies, this guy probably came from outside.
I wonder what is their favourite food apart from coffee beans which have been "banned" by Mr Nespresso...
All these species are quite common, and especially this one. There are so many more missing yet, 100 lives would not be enough to take pictures of the beattles from France only !

There were many of them that day in the woods.
if I refer to the photos available on the web, it is more likely Eupholus geoffroyi, what do you think ?
Oh, sorry I see you have investigated already !
I think it might be another family, probably tribe Cryptocephalini, may be genus Cadmus ?
