Not Corythucha ciliata, it's C. confraterna
Corythucha confraterna is the sycamore lace bug species that occurs in the South West. Please see other comments made on Ron Hemberger's images. As for your question, yes, they could be mating. Many lace bug species mate at an anlge.

Two ships passing in the night is my guess
Voyeurs are encouraged to visit here to see live, adult lace bugs converse...and more!
