#beetle identification

@agentscully514 Japanese beetles are in the scarab family (also known as chafers)

their elytra are brown, and they have little fuzzy edges. The thoracic carapace is the same iridescent green as the Ram beetles, but their antennae are the wrong shape, and as well as being the wrong colour, the elytra are not smooth. Also, the whole beetle is more almond shaped.

mint leaf beetle, dock beetle, dogbane flea beatle

there are many leaf beetles that look a lot like the Ram beetle (three examples above). Same antennae shape, similar body shape, correct colouration and shape of elytra.

Finally trying to expand my knowledge into the beetle realm!
