it sounds like it is the "Diaprepes abbreviatus" commanly called the diaprepes root weevil. they are very bad for trees, they lay eggs on the root and the larva can kill a full grown tree. if you live in California they have a number to report this bug because the damage it can do to orchards. the number is 1-800-491-1899 it is the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
