IDed by the wing venation method (see BugGuide).

I used wing venation to rule out Leptomantispa pulchella according to Aaron Schusteff's comment under this photo: http://bugguide.net/node/view/822069 The rule seems to work well, based on bugguide's photos of the two species.

Elizabeth and I stayed at the AMAZING Alamo Inn B&B -- geared towards bird watchers and a magnificent place (and relatively inexpensive too). I asked the innkeeper if I could put up a moth light, and she told me that someone nearby is documenting the moths in the area! Sweet! I went and pestered them, hung out for about 4 hours talking nature and philosophy, and photographed lots and lots and lots of cool new moths and bugs. :) Several of these I will study with the discover life moth guide: http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?guide=Moth&cl=US/TX&flags=HAS: Most of these moths and critters Chuck documented like a week earlier, so I'm using his calendar too. :) Thanks, Chuck!

I had one the other day that was identified as Dicromantispa sayi: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/3040915 but I am unsure of this one. It was smaller and has a darker neck than the one the other night
