Bagging and sending a specimen for identification
Gather several specimens (whole and complete bodies when possible) and insert in a plastic “baggie”, or other container that will protect the body without crushing it during mailing. You should be able to seal th container so the specimen will not fall out.
I suggest wrapping the insect with a few layers of tissue paper or a few Kleenex tissues.
Ideally, a bubble-wrapped shipping envelope is perfect and will cost only about $0.50 or so to purchase.
Describe for me where you found the specimen, was water, rotted wood, paper or soil nearby…what was the area like where you found the specimen? Were there wings? Was there a food source nearby? Were there fecal droppings. Tell me everything around the specimen, which will help me in identifying it.
When I get the specimen, I will identify and email an answer to you as rapidly as possible with a solution to your problem. Remember...NAME, TOWN & EMAIL ADDRESS if you want me to respond. In the meantime, do not spray any insecticide or anything else, except a little mild liquid (about 3-4 tbsp of Prell™ , Dove™ , Ivory™ , any soap will do...) and a quart of water mixed together which will foul its movement & wings and the insect will be smothered. In an atomizing sprayer). This is safe for you and will kill the insect without staining your floor, drapes or wall.
Insert your complete name, address, phone number and email address for a reply or follow up question I may have.
