It looks like Plagiognathus blatchleyi...
Schuh
says it is recognized by "the relatively large size, heavy bodied appearance, pale background coloration of the dorsum, posterior lobe of the pronotum almost uniformly brown and anterior lobe pale or greenish (fig. 6), and the black antennae." The description says "General coloration pale, yellowish to faintly greenish; posterior lobe of pronotum, posterior two-thirds of clavus, and posterior one-third of corium usually brown." It lives in your area.

Perfect!
Near perfect match, plus I've got a lot of Ambrosia (Ragweed) near my light set up....
