At the gas station a big flying green beetle bug attacked me! Do they bite/sting?

Question

I tried to keep still, but the thing kept coming at me! Then while I was driving one hit me windshield (I'm sure it dies), AND THEN as I was leaving out the door, I saw another one! What is this, attack of the flying beetles?

So do they bite/sting? Do they get mad like bees if I get all frantic?

lol, thx.

In the U. S., they are an invasive species, and common is some areas.  They can be trapped using pheromones.  You *might* be wearing something that smells like a (beetle) pheromone.
