Do you still have the specimen?
Would be a new and rather significant state record if this were actually Z. caerulea.

Should probably be submitted to someone like Dr. Thomas, Dr. Rider, or Dr. Swanson for verification.

[i'm not moving it because it's not a 100% ID; hope you can have the specimen re-examined. =v=]
