Hello,
This is one of the green stink bugs. I will send this along to our entomologist to see if the species can be identified from your photo.

That is a stink bug (family Pentatomidae), but I can’t see enough detail in your photo to identify the species. The most common species in Michigan is the common green stink bug (Chinavia hilaris). You can read more about it in this article from MSU Extension: https://www.canr.msu.edu/ipm/diseases/green_stink_bug?language_id=
