Your letter to the bugman: We had a landslide into our planters after hurricane Maria. We found these bugs burrowing in the dirt. And we have no idea what they are but look like they could bite.

Dear Janice,
This is the grub of a Scarab Beetle and they are not aggressive. They are often found near rotting stumps, in compost piles and many species feed on the roots of grasses, so they are also found in lawns and gardens.
