Patrick,
If you still have the beastie, I have found that the local agricultural
extension offices of the state college or university are very helpful
identifying those vile critters.
I keep a couple of small jars and a bottle of alcohol on hand to capture and
perserve the bugs. Some of the local nurseries participate in a program with
the local Ext Office as drop off locations. The Ag person will stop by and
pick up the bottle and then contact you.
