Popillia japonica
a beautiful copper beetle with iridescent green highlights and black and white banding on the side and belly --- seen here murdering my rose bushes.
Native to Japan, seen as a pest species across the US, especially the south
I don't use Japanese Beetle traps, I've heard they lure more beetles than they kill.
