Oriental Beetle

Exomala orientalis

Anomala orientalis, also known as the oriental beetle (OB), is a species of Rutelinae in the family Scarabaeidae. It is a beetle about 0.7 - 1.1 cm long, with mottled, metallic brown- and black-colored elytra and a similarly colored thorax and head during the adult stage. It is sometimes confused with the larger and more colorful Japanese beetle. During the larval stage, the oriental beetle can be identified by the parallel line raster pattern. Source
