Pretty small?
Keep a bunch if there are lots of them in hopes of getting a male. That is a very distinctive color pattern I have not seen. You can place into rubbing alcohol or just put in a small jar with a tissue to keep them from banging around and let them dry out. You should be able to take them to Don Chandler at UofNH for a determination or I am glad to ID them if you send them.

Great photo!
