I am pretty sure this is a soldier beetle, but does anyone know what type?
I called it a milkweed bug after a google image search of a similar insect captured here in Chicago. See what you think. I'm no expert ...

I think your dead on. In fact this beetle was probably sitting on a milkweed when I took the photo. Lots of these types of bugs and monarchs in this very small area. Thanks again.
Nice shot whatever it is.
Nice sharp image. Well done.
