Answer 2

The photo you posted was a green june bug.  You stated that this photo was as "as close as I got."  I take it that it wasn't a perfect match.  A similar, but smaller beetle, is the japanese beetle.  It looks like this:

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

It is indeed a green June bug, a member as you said, the beetle family, Choleoptera.  Beetles are some of the most successful critters on the planet.
