I've ben finding these handsome chaps on the allotment lately. I can't
remember having found them before.

Friend or foe?


Look horribly like vine weevil grubs to me.


Not those I'm afraid. I'm familiar with VW grubs, this is much bigger. There
are 6 legs which don't show up very well on the pic. The legs are all at the
front end, ie the end on the right of the pic. Very off-balance in the leg
department.
