I have it still alive
Do I just freeze it, then mail it to him inside a plastic baggie, or ...?

i've sent you a note to put you in touch with Dr Sweet directly
this is my idea of how to handle it: put the bug in a small container [plastic tube w/a good stopper would be the best option] with a little EtOH/vine spirit (but short-term isopropyl alcohol ok, i guess) as a preservative; plastic tubes can be safely mailed it small padded envelopes
