Cool beetle spotted in my garden

Any idea what kind it is? It's in Colorado if that helps.

Super invasive Japanese beetle.
Put soapy water in a jar and put the jar under the beetle. Push it in the jar. Sometimes they jump off the leaf when they sense danger, that’s why you put the jar below them.
They love Virginia creeper, so much that you should consider getting rid of any you have.
They live in the dirt during winter, and warm winters mean more Japanese beetles. We had a cold winter, so this year isn’t as bad as last.
