What kind of bug is this found in Minnesota?

Question

My dad recently found a very strange bug crawling in our barn. We have no idea what kind of bug it is but it is very strange. This bug is brown and about 1-1/2 to 2 inches long. It has wings and the end of the bug looks like the end of a fly (the butt area). The bug has antennas and the front feet look as if they are claws, they are wide and look like they are used for digging maybe? PLEASE tell me if you have any idea what kind of bug this may be!!

Answer 1

It could be a cicada (my best guess)
