Moving to family.
Moving this to the family guide page so an expert (I know one!) can go through and ID it.

Morrill lace bug
This is the Morrill lace bug, Corythucha morrilli O&D. This species is very simmilar to the Chrysantemumm lace bug, Corythucha marmorata. The easiest way to tell them apart is by their pronotal (prothorax) lateral carinae: in marmorata are small, far from the base of the hood, triangular in shape, and with only one areola (cell), in morrilli are elongated, closer to the base of the hood, and have several areolae.

Thank you, Laura.
I think I see what you're pointing out. Now I'll have to look at a Chrysanthemumm Lacebug.
