Yes, the largish iridecent green ones are also called June Bugs or
Figeater beetles I think.

They can damage lawns for the most part, and the green ones like
fruit.  The brown ones eat foliage of trees and shrubs.  I guess they
can be damaging if there are enough of them.

the little white tufts of Japanese beetles, and I believe they are bigger.

One time I went to a museum where all the work in the museum had been
done by children.  They had all the paintings up on refrigerators.
