I found it on the ground at church before youth group and put it in a paper cup in the fridge (to slow it down).

I released it into the front garden when I was done, none the worse for the ordeal, I believe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My go-to site for insect and spider identification, http:\/\/BugGuide.net\/, is not responding this morning, so I had to identify this the old fashioned way, with my handy Peterson Field Guide to Beetles.
