Colorado beetles would eat eggplants but they are not shiny or
rainbow like.
Japanese beetles? They fit the description. Do they eat eggplants?

Japanese beetles here (Not yet, more every year though).

Shiny, 'rainbow' like, mostly golden, about 3/8" to 1/2" long attacking
my eggplants. Does anyone know what they are?
