Yes, that's the one, curls up into a ball, whitish gray and fat,
obviously, as its been very well fed :-)

How can I prevent this happening again, if at all.

Thanks, Kate
You can get various solutions for 'curl grubs' or 'lawn grubs' at
nurseries. I hate using poisons in my garden and just leave them for
the magpies to dig up. In your case, repotting would probably fix the
problem. ;-D

Thanks Trish
I did repot eighteen months ago, hardly had a flower since that time.
Left one (a tough old Jade plant) out of about ten pots, that's why I
wondered if they migrated from pot to pot.
Of course I'm inclined to love my plants too much which can be
destructive and might explain a lot apart from the livestock.
Have emptied all except one pot again, might just plant something and
let it get on with it without interference.

Call them bardi grubs in WA. Good fishing bait. They are the larvae (i
think is right term) of a beetle. Yes the beetle can fly and could be
attracted to lights. This is a pic from a USA site but they are spot on
for what we have http://www.ppdl.purdue.edu/PPDL/images/grubs.jpg

I understand the correct zoological name is 'Cockchafer Beetle'... ;-

I will let that one go through to the keeper hehehehe
