According to this web site:

June bugs are large, dull, metallic green.

I think the "June" bugs are brown.  The ones that are green like Japanese
beetles but really big are something else.  I remember looking it up about
ten years ago but I can't remember what it was!  We didn't have enough of
them for it to be a problem.  Haven't seen many since.
Sorry I can't be more help.

(Boy the June bugs are stupid, they fly at full speed into any obstacle in
their way (walls, people, cars!!!) then just change course and do it
again!!!)
