Giant Grub Worm in Compost Pile - Fertile Soil

This is a HUGE grub that is living in my compost pile. When I picked it up, it pinched a loaf the size of a rat turd. It was awesome! InvestInSanAntonio.com

I found out that there was a beetle, called a Snout Nosed Weeble, that migrated up from Mexico. It was responsible for high tequilla costs a few years back, as these weebles feed on agave and other similiar plants. I had a couple of Agave that were victims, and I knew exactly what had happened after seeing a snipet about these weebles on TV. So, it's possible these grubs are larvae from one of these weebles, I'm not sure. I'm pretty convinced though that this is an OX beetle grub.

I think I discovered that this is the larvae of an Ox Beetle, as opposed to a grub worm which is the larvae of a june bug.

The shiny metallic green and tan fuzzy bugs,

with black wings that buzz really loud,

and live in eucalyptus trees in the summer time? Is that one of their babies?

Thanks.

I think you might be thinking of a cicada. We don't have eucalyptus trees in Texas (not that I know of anyway), but we do have plenty of cicadas. You might also be thinking of a locust?

Personally, I find some grubs to be kind of cute, in a weird, icky sort of way. If that even makes any sense...

Mind you, I wouldn't actually want to hold one, but they're cute to look at.

I found a ton of these grubs under some bales of hay in New Braunfels, TX. A google search turned up a few pages that suggest they may be "Large Scarab Beetle Grubs" I am so curious to see what they'll turn into.

I want to see Bear Grylls eat that!

[kysmelmonge]

Bear grylls could eat that in 3 bites

Put him under your car tire. He'll pop just like a katchup packet.
