Nothing special, just an ID please

My girls found this on my bedroom curtain. Any idea what it is?
It kinda looks like a beetle to me.
And yes, a pint glass is a natural habit for creepy crawlies as far as I'm concerned lol.

Yes, it's a beetle, but which I don't know.

I've googled it and it looks as though it could be a June bug/beetle.

Its a june bug and they are extremely destructive on the garden. I cant stand the little buggers! They ate up my roses last yr. Keep your eye out.. they come by the 100's

Yep June bug.
Beautifully furry underneath the body around the edges of the wing cases.
Great subject for your 50mm and tubes.
Usually I find them fine to hand hold and slow walking enough to get to pose on twigs & such.
Lovely shades of brown on the abdomen too, well worth a macro session !
