Epiptera
This is a teneral (newly molted) individual that hasn't "colored up" yet. The wings would overlap broadly if brought together along the midline of the back, a characteristic of the family Achilidae. The long, triangular head indicates it is probably Epiptera floridae.

These insects are reported to feed on fungi under bark.

It is some heteropteran in the fulgoroidea.....
... according to James Adams. I was really ready to discover a new family of moths here :-)

Yes, Fulgoroidea looks good...
I went through 20 pages of images in the guide but didn't notice anything with wings quite like this (simple venation - no cross-veins).

I'd like to leave this in ID Request for a while longer (I noticed that someone had anonymously moved it to Hemiptera, so I've now moved it back to ID Request).
