Euptilon ornatum
This insect showed up at a light after dark. It had a long slender body and four wings vaguely like a dragonfly, but the wings were held very differently.
The house is near a lake and the area around the house is very wooded with a mix of hardwoods, juniper and understory trees. Other plants have been added to attract wildlife.

Hmmm: Maybe a Euptilon sp. Like Euptilon sinuatum???

It's an adult Antlion (Family Myrmeleontidae). I'll see if I can narrow it down any.
