The occurrence of Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli, 1763), an endangered species restricted to hollow trees, was studied in a network or rural avenues in northern Poland. We detected1002 trees with hollows suitable for hermit beetle development (25% of all trees). Among them, 114 (11%) were occupied by O. eremita. The distribution of O. eremita was not random with respect to tree species identity. Tilia cordata and Alnus glutinosa were preferred while Acer platanoides andCarpinus betulus were avoided. The beetle preferred trees about 450 cm in circumference at 1.3 m height with a tendency towards lower occupancies of the biggest trees having circumferences above 500 m. O. eremita did not show any significant preferences accroding to hollow entrance area, exposition and road surface type. Contrary to common belief O. eremita did not prefer oaks. Our result show that preservation schemes and choices of prime areas for conservation for heremit beetles have to included stands of trees other than oak.
