On my sis-in-law's table cloth. Seems they come out of the ground next to a tree in their yard.

Tibicen lyricen
My best prediction would be a dark Tibicen lyricen. Note the black eyes and dark pronotal blotches.

Wait for a final ID from Mr. Reynolds.

Good call & I agree with Yazan! The pink/peach body coloration and the near black pronotal blotches are usually indicative of this color form.

Thanks Yazan . .
I shall patiently await Mr. Reynold's take :)

Thank you Ranger of Ontario!
That outdoor table cloth of my sis-in-law rounds up some pretty neat bugs.
