Lace bug?
I'm wondering if this might be a lace bug? Neat animal whatever it turns out to be:-)

Fringetree Lace Bug
Good hunch, Eric! This one has all the characteristics of Leptoypha mutica shown at Cedar Creek and also described in detail along with images in two PDF docs found on the web. I made a Guide page and put the info and links there.

Needs confirmation.
I put the images on your guide page, but I am hoping an expert on the family will tell us for certain if that is what this is. I am pretty confident in the family status, at least for now:-) I do know that not all lacebugs look like Corythuca.

Doubt it
This thing seems too 3-dimensional to be a lace bug.
