Beetle ID - PNW, USA:

Hellomn, yesssk, this looks to be one of two species...

If it has tiny hairs on the pronotum, the area behind the head before the wing covers, it's a Long-haired June Beetle (Polyphylla crinita), family Scarabaeidae.

If it lacks those hairs on the pronotum, it's a Ten-lined June Beetle (Polyphylla decemlineata), family Scrabaeidae.

I saw this guy a week or so ago and was curious what you thought he was? About the size of a pill bottle for reference
