Mystery bug

Check out this interesting bug I found out on one of the deck chairs this past week!



I need to do some research online - it has the overall shape/look of a Japanese beetle, only that back pattern/color is definitely NOT Japanese beetle.  I'm wondering if it's a freshly hatched/molting Japanese beetle?  Or perhaps something totally unrelated?  It didn't seem TOO bothered by us checking it out...



And by "us" I mean "me and the dog", who proceeded to get "too interested" in the bug (that's what happens if I look at something for more than a few seconds), and bumped it off the chair into the fern. Oh well...let's hope it wasn't something evil that I should've stomped!
