You might have read...
my initial post where I stated that I didn't have a clue but as soon as I saw the image after upping it I was struck with the notion to look through the planthoppers. I found the partridge bug (Scolops sulcipes) but it didn't look quite the same to me. I even googled and didn't come up with anything. Then I edited my original note with the picture... Sorry about that.

And thanks for the kind words and the help!

Scolops
This is a long-winged individual of a species that usually has the wings shorter and rounder, more beetle-like. It is probably S. robustus, but if so, it is further east than this species has been recorded (AZ to TX and NE). If you have a side view showing the shape of the head process, this might help with the identification.

I am very sorry...
Dr. Hamilton, I was only able to get a few dorsal shots. It is also unfortunate that I will not be back in the area anytime soon as this was taken while on vacation. I have googled S. robustus and was unable to locate any images. If you could point me to a link or two of the species maybe I can determine if this is it or not.

Thanks again for your assistance!
