I have a couple that look identical to this one, so it may be Torynorrhina flammea because of the color mutations within the species its really hard to tell but they are really beautiful beetles.

Wow, looks almost like a much more attractive version of a Japanese beetle?

Yeah, they do have similar coloring. Japanese beetles are even fancier; they have that decorative black and white trim.

But they aren't quite as pretty-shaped as this one. And those Japanese beetles are like hell over there, the way they cover all the plants. So annoying....

Yes , they are bad news, fortunately these June beetles are pretty harmless.
