@donhe not sure, it held its shape even when partially detached but I couldn't see any movement. I was hesitant to touch it to pull it apart any more.

So please can you cut it open so the we can see what is inside ?
You can just look at adults to identify them, but identifying immature stages requires investigative activity.
