This bug is very common in my backyard. It loves to hide under rocks, etc or a few inches in the soil. It seem to hate sun and only comes out at night. It look more like a reddish brown version of Japanese June bug. If you checked out the other websites, then you will see that it is destructive in both adult and larval form to many species of plants.
