BeetlesMystery Grubs
Hi Daniel,
A friend sent these photos. He has been having a problem with mature Ficus benjamina trees dying and recently found these creatures. Any idea what they are and how to control them? These are from Cabo Pulmo, southern Baja California, Mexico .
Muchas gracias, Diane
Hi Diane,
That is one big Grub. We believe it is a Prionus Grub and are awaiting a confirmation from Eric Eaton. Here is what Eric wrote back: “Geez!! I don’t know what else it COULD be! Defilnitely Ceramybicidae. I’d say a Derobrachus larva, but I don’t think Ficus is a known host…. Eric “
