Coreidae
I'm fairly sure this is Euthochtha galeator, the helmeted squash bug. See info here. Will move to guide page as Minnesota is not represented as of yet.

Submission looks good.
A straight-down shot often comes in handy. So can detail on the antennae. Add length if you can. (I should talk on that one!)

Thanks!
Thanks, Ron. As soon as I took this photo it flew. I'll have to work on determining length, too. The macro lens is only a few weeks new to me so I'm having trouble with that still. A better tripod and a macro flash will likely help with DOF and focus.
