I would highly recommend checking with your local Cooperative Extension office- they're a branch of the USDA. I recently talked to our local horticulture educator to get a positive beetle larvae ID. They were extremely helpful and knowledgable about local insects. http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/ Hope that helps!
