Shield-backed Bug
Just got an id back from the experts & it turned out to be new for me. There is no common name for genus or species but it is part of the family of shield-backed bugs. Not a beetle but a true bug. Kin to stink bugs but different family. It was feeding off the juices of a giant ragweed plant at the lake.
Shield-backed Bug (Sphyrocoris obliquus)
Giant Ragweed (Ambrosia trifida)
