I have been digging up chaffer grubs in my veg patch since the ground became diggable in march. To be honest, I thought that the grubs overwintered in the soil and came out as beetles in the summer.
Maybe the ants have disturbed the soil round the roots so much that not enough water is getting to the plant?
