Shield bug? - Acanthocephala declivis
Marysville, Snohomish County, Washington, USA
December 14, 2018
Size: 6” long
I think this is a shield or leaf footed bug. My husband actually found it in the auto shop he works at and picked it up since it was struggling to turn over. He works at a Honda dealership and thought it might be from another area that somehow got here from a car.

Acanthocephala declivis…
Yes, this is primarily an eastern US species, but its range can extend as far west as AZ. It's definitely a long way from where it was originally.

See reference here.
