I posted a session with this insect gifted to me by my son several months ago and I brought it out for inspection and to stage for a focus stacking session. It has large wings, much like that of a green lacewing, and any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated.
Can’t help with the I.D. but it would make a terrific hood ornament!
Thanks, Mark. Bugguide has an example of it that you directed me to which is a Sweltsa coloradensis. I've attached an image of it posted there that was contributed by Bill Gerth.

Thanks, Raymondh. I'm sad that we no longer have hood ornaments that were works of art in their own right.

Thanks, Elliott. I also searched with no success and thankfully Mark was able to identify it.
