Brown Bugs Eating My Flowers

I have these strange bugs attacking my flowers petunias, marigolds, etc. They are like a large ladybug, only brown rather than orange. They fly when disturbed. Does anyone have any idea what they could be and how do I get rid of them? Thanks.

Many thanks, Foxrun. They are definitely Japanese beetles. The link you suggested was very helpful.
