Got Japanese Maple around?
This is Japananus hyalinus a species commonly found on Acer palmatum (Japanese Maple). Though it does feed on some other native species.

Thanks
for the ID. I'm woefully ignorant of plants but I looked around and yes, we do have Japanese maple near where I live. Thanks for the ID!

You're welcome.
I'm usually quite ignorant of plants too, but sometimes knowing a few can come in handy, as in this case.
