Nicely photographed Yvonne. Here in Texas we call similar beetles - June Bugs. Do a search on Australian Chafer beetles and you'll probably identify your subject.

Thanks William, looked it up , its a Brown Cockchafer aka Rhopaea Cane Beetle. It is attracted to house lights and eats plant roots. So looks harmless enough but is a pest. 8-)

Nice job Yvonne. Interesting coloring on this one. Makes for a pretty (even though destructive) little beetle.
