Looks to be Acanalonia servillei
in the guide here. We didn't see a common name, but seem to remember that Dr Hamilton referred to them as "Moth bugs"

thanks
Thank you! I posted a picture previously identified as that species, but this one seemed different enough to me that it might be a different species. I'm still getting used to the WIDE variety within one insect species.

Always best to wait to hear from Dr Hamilton
