Hello and thank you for your report! While this is a scarab beetle with some similar coloring to Japanese Beetle, this beetle is very fuzzy, so it is not a JB, which only has small white tufts of hair along its sides. It might be a native species called "little bear", Paracotalpa granicollis. You can read about them at http://bugguide.net/node/view/87074 and more about JBs at https://www.oregon.gov/ODA/shared/Documents/Publications/IPPM/JBThreatAndOpportunity.pdf

Thanks again,
Lindsey
