Hexagenia
Hi Ilona-
I believe this female subimago to be either
Hexagenia limbata
or
Hexagenia rigida
, both of which are known to reside in Wisconsin, but require microscopic examination of the male imago genitalia in order to differentiate from one another.

If you're hoping for a species ID...
...please move the pics to Ephemeroptera. Roger doesn't review images posted deeper in the Guide.
Thanks!
