After looking I think this is a green june beetle. They commonly eat ripe fruit and are mistaken for Japanese Beetles.

could it be a green fruit beetle? http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2005/07/17/green-fruit-beetle/

This beetle is larger than the typical Japanese Beetle, unless Japanese Beetles can get to be over 1 inch in length I don't know if that is correct?
