Wheel Bug

Hi 14sowings. Please update your spotting. It will help other users with identification and allow your spot to be placed in the database instead of the unknowns.

I concur with ForestDragon. I photographed 2 of these bugs today and am very familiar with the species. Just a friendly reminder that insects and spiders go in the Arthropods category. "Other" is not for unidentified organisms but rather for things such as lichens, starfish, snails, slugs, etc.

Though this does have some similarities to Squash Bugs there are some pretty distinct differences. I am pretty sure this is actually a Wheel Bug. You can tell by looking at the thorax area, which has a spiked crest. The shape of the head is also different.
You can compare this picture of a species of Squash Bug with your bug:
