Bee beetle

Trichius fasciatus

Description:

Just about a centimeter, and covered with furr. This little sweetheart spends it larvae-time in old logs and eats and collects pollen when it grows up. (Thank you very much for the ID, Stian!)

Habitat:

It's common here in Sweden, except for the southern parts of Skåne.
