is this a June beetle? they come out everyyear in my yard and hang around the compost pile. they are very powerful flyers and it was hard to net this one.

oh and by the way they are fairly large, for a beetle.

Right species?
I'm thinking Cotinis nitida. Not sure that mutabilis makes it that far north, though I could be wrong....
