A good guess, but...no.
We get June bugs too.
This beetle was quite a bit larger than a June bug (at least 2 - 2 1/2 inches long), bright lime-green, with yellow streaks top and bottom. It looked similar to the one on the far-right in this picture:

Never seen one like it around here before -- it may have been some beetle-collector-import that got away...
