Hello, I was swimming in my pool today when I saw a fairly large sized beetle struggling i the water. I turned on my light to see it better and it was like no beetle I had seen before. I was wondering if you could shed some light on it since insectidentification.org failed me.

Dear Conner,
We are sorry to hear that insectidentification.org failed you. What’s That Bug? delivers. This is a Lined June Beetle in the genus Polyphylla, and we believe it might be Polyphylla variolosa, the Variegated June Beetle, based on images posted to BugGuide. The Variegated June Beetle is found in New Jersey, according to data on BugGuide.
