    It looks like a Green June Beetle.
    In the link below is states:
    So that would make sense. They are all just emerging.

    I get brown June and May beetles here. But no beetles that are that shaped and that colored.

    Green june bugs that most be what they are. When I said a thousand, I think that might be an acurate number I never seen any thing like it. By midday they are gone, and come back in the morning. They are eating my canna leaves and some roses.
