I have recently found two large grubs in my soil.They have light
brown heads and pincers.eight legs two of which are smaller than the

are about 1 1/2" long.I have never seen them before.I have done a
google search and cannot decide what it is.Do away with them or let
them get on with it. Cheers Keith Nottingham


They are almost certainly stag beetle grubs. The brown dots are air
holes. They should be replaced back where you found them or near to
some rotting wood.
