Tibicen sp.
T. canicularis?
Given the coloration of the teneral, it could be T. canicularis (which is highly variable), but I'm not certain.

Another possibility...T. lyricen?
A thought due to characteristics of the pronotum and head.
T. lyricen is also reported from s. WI and this teneral does look a lot like a lyricen (NOTE: T. lyricen from the Miss. R. system and assoc. states is often more bluish-green when teneral - but not always).

Additional points - T. lyricen often emerges during the day before sunset, while canicularis typically emerges after sunset (but can be seen emerging during the day as well). T. canicularis is usually associated with pines; in contrast, T. lyricen is usually less associate with pines and seen more frequently around scrubby vegetation and hardwoods.

Final note, most other Tibicen species in that region would likely be distinctly greenish as tenerals (i.e. linnei & pruinosus).
