Grub? But the Size?
We found this LARGE grub like thing while cleaning out a junk area in the yard. Can you tell us what it is? And what it may turn into?
Thanks,

Hi Jason,
You have a large Scarab Beetle grub, possibly one of the June Beetles. June Beetle grubs live in the ground and feed on the roots of grasses and other shrubs. Some Scarabs get quite large as both grubs and adults. Sorry I can’t provide an exact species name for you.
