.......It's a bit of a shock
to find this squirming sometimes quite large grub like bug. We've just
put in more summer seeds and want to know what the bugs are and how to
deter them for this coming spring/summer season. Does anyone know what
they are?

General things are;
1) plant early
2) clean up and dispose of all prunings, dropped fruit, etc
3) keep the plant as heathly as possible
3) chemicals or encourage natural predators(no chemicals).
