Agree!

Probably a close relative the Figeater beetle which is common in the SW.

Used to get Japanese beetles like CRAZY here is W PA, especially on grapevines and rose bushes.

Then came DDT and the are now pretty much gone.

Used a lot of DDT in the 50’s when I was less than 10 YO.

Didn’t harm me.

well except for that haunting, nasty twitch and an IQ over 160...
