Dictyla echii
Wonderful pictures! On focus and very neat, host plant included! Thank you! This lace bug came from Europe with its host plant, Echium vulgare. It has spread in many open areas and pastures, fortunatelly, the plant came with its pest, Dictyla echii, that helps keep the plant from spreading too much.

Non-natives
"This lace bug came from Europe with its host plant, Echium vulgare."
That is good as long as the bug doesn't develop a taste for some related native plant. Look at the ravages that the viburnum leaf beetle is beginning to cause in the native viburnums. 1
