Dear Bevill JB,
This is not a caterpillar. It is the Grub or immature stage of a Scarab Beetle.
Dear Daniel…
That is so fascinating.
Thank you very much for responding. This is a simply wonderful and most educative site I have seen in ages.
Best regards,
Hello,
I am just curious if it is normal that I found these in my backyard in Kansas, USA?
to look it up and running across your site(which is incredible btw), I found it funny that I had no clue what to search so I looked up bug in dirt that looks like a shrimp?? lol
anywho, NEVER seen anything like it, but I am also new to this area- originally from Oregon in the Willamette Valley and I have yet to become accustomed to many of the insects(NOT TO MENTION THEIR SIZE AND SHEER VOLUME OF ALL OF THEM) and I am mostly wondering if I can feed them and other cridders I have been catching in my yard, to my ornate box turtle[michelangelo] or my great plains toad[squeeks]? If you know, I mean, and/or maybe you can point me in a direction to gain more knowledge on the subject(s)? I have been feeding them all kinds of bugs I don’t know but I am concerned I will give them a bug that might make them sick… or worse?
Thank you in advance!
Scarab Beetle grubs will not make your pets sick.
