I checked the beetles identity with Wilkepedia.  The tan/brown hard type back  with the white zig-zag markings down each side.  Aprroximately   1 1/2" long.  I should have took a photo, before I got rid of it.

I have just found one of these pests on my rose shrub.  Munching away on the flower.  As it was the first one I have seen, should I be worried.?
