Looks like what I would call a June Beetle, or Cotinis nitida. I don't think it eats leaves ... so you might want to look for another critter, like a caterpillar.

There is a increasingly popular site Welcome to BugGuide.Net! - BugGuide.Net - that has numerous pictures of both Cotinis nitida and Popillia japonica. You may, or may not find these interesting.

That is a Japanese Beetle.

Sevin (Carbaryl) Is the easiest thing to control them chemically.

Japanese Beetle and you better start controlling now because they will eat everything they can. The only good thing is that the adult life span is usually just few weeks and then it tapers off.

Second Farmer Bill. That is not a June Beetle. That is a Japanses beetle.

if you don't have a lot, you can use a bottle or a can filled with soapy water. Handpick or flick them into the bottle. They will drown. If you have tons, Sevin is the fastest way to kill a lot at once.

Look up Milky spores. It is a long term solution. Apply at a correct time and with the right way, it works for 10+ years.

def Jap Beetles. Pick off and put in a cricket cage in evening or early morning or with a headlight on at nite. or during day knock into a small kiddy bucket of water. I find I dont need the soap... give to the chickens they luv them

i put a clip on the long cylinder cricket cGE and put it on a belt or belt loop

Course I hate the tiny other insects worse esp stink bugs.....the dang cuc beetles etc move a lot faster. Rah
