Hopeless for me to attempt an identification of this microlipidopteran, Far too many species that look far too similar.

Japanese beetle, a much hated invasive pest. When I was a kid there was a population explosion of this colorful beetle and it seemed that everyone in the neighborhood had traps out attempting to save their roses in particular.

thank you - I'd tend to agree with that identification...

there were three of them, flitting through the brush while I was trying to catch one at rest...
