beetle

Anyone have any solid info on wtf this bugger is? Mixed up some soil started repotting clones and flung this guy onto one of the plants roots cluster. Freaked out trapped it in a cup. It buries itself in the dirt and flys around the cup.

Hey RIU, I had one of those copper coloured japanese beetles land on my Bakerstreet today. I scared it off in the process of trying to kill it. Anyone else had these? Any experience or advice would be welcome. Thanks
