Care of ten-lined June beetles? Are they viable pets?

I have acquired a male adult ten-lined June beetle. I've only ever seen dead ones before in my area, but this one was very much alive, hissing like there was no tomorrow when I approached him. I'd like to keep him as a pet but I'm unsure if that's a viable scenario and how exactly to go about it. Does anyone have any information about this?

Naw. You can mimic their natural environment, but they die off pretty quick. Best just to set it free.
