Coreidae
I thought of this species, but characteristic flattened 3rd antennal segment is not visible on your image. Not flattened, or just view on the sharp edge?

garden monster
Yes it does look like the squash bug. I didn't get any closer to him, this was all I saw. I was actually photographing a ladybug on another leaf when I saw him. Thanks, conniei

Monster
Monster? But it's only a baby. Some sort of nymph, but I have no idea what, sorry.
