Did me some weed-pullin’ today and came across this little critter (and two more just like it) curled up in the dirt under a pot that was sittin’ on the lawn. I’m bettin’ that this is what the skunks and opossums come diggin’ for at night. It’s officially known as a White Curl Grub, Scarab Beetle Larva or Lawn Beetle Larva, but it’s also known as a Cockchafer. Would love to hear the story behind that moniker. Or maybe not.
