I'm pretty sure this is the Diaprepes root weevil, Diaprepes abbriviatus , sometimes just known as a broad-nosed weevil. They are a pest introduced from the Caribbean and are damaging to the roots of dozens of different plants.

Thank you. I believe you are right! when you know what something is called it makes Google alot easier.
I relocated the bug, because I didn't know if it was harmful or not....guess I should have just squashed it.
