Agnocoris
Seek called this creature, which is about the size of a grain of sand requiring 3x, a member of the genus Agnocoris, a group of plant bugs. The rough terrain is a strip of athletic tape holding together the watercolor paper surface of my light trap.

some kind of Danepteryx
I'm still struggling with AI, but Seek seems much more sensible than some I've used. Contrary to one AI claim, this is no cicada. It was tiny, shy, and hiding in the light fixture for my light trap. Still, I have nothing beyond Danepteryx.
