I’m not from Idaho, but I saw a potato bug one time in my neighbor’s yard in CA when I was eight and it made quite an impression on me. I never forgot it.

Check out the picture with the quarter.

Bad joke - potato bugs - Idaho potatoes
I think you are closer than I was. Would need to see the top side of the bug. The strips on the underside of the abdomen looks like a honey bee. but I can also see the stripes are similar to the Jerusalem cricket.
